Accidents happen—a favorite mug slips from your hands, a cherished ceramic figurine topples, or a plastic gadget snaps. Instead of discarding broken items, GH1200 Super Glue offers a quick, high-strength solution to restore them. Cyanoacrylate adhesives (the scientific name for super glue) bond materials in seconds, creating repairs that often outlast the original object.
What Is Super Glue? The Science Behind Instant Bonding
Super glue, or cyanoacrylate adhesive, is a fast-curing, high-strength glue that forms near-unbreakable bonds between most materials, including:
- Ceramics & Glass – Seals cracks invisibly.
- Metal & Plastic – Bonds even non-porous surfaces.
- Wood & Rubber – Flexible yet durable holds.
- Paper & Leather – Ideal for crafts and quick fixes.
Unlike traditional adhesives, super glue polymerizes upon contact with moisture, creating an almost instantaneous bond. GH1200 Super Glue is engineered for heat and water resistance, making repairs last longer under stress.
Liquid vs. Gel: Which Super Glue Should You Use?
| Type | Best For | Advantages |
|---|---|---|
| Liquid | Hairline cracks, porous materials | Faster drying, deeper penetration |
| Gel | Vertical surfaces, precision repairs | No dripping, stronger hold on plastics |
GH1200 offers both formulas, ensuring the right adhesive for every job—whether you’re fixing a delicate porcelain vase or reassembling a plastic toy.
Who Invented Super Glue? A WWII Accidental Discovery
Super glue was invented in 1942 by Dr. Harry Coover while researching clear plastics for military gun sights. His team at Eastman Kodak stumbled upon cyanoacrylates but initially dismissed them as too sticky for their needs.
It wasn’t until 1958 that Coover recognized its potential as an adhesive, leading to its commercialization. Today, GH1200 Super Glue builds on this legacy with advanced formulas for stronger, longer-lasting repairs.
How Strong Is Super Glue? (It Can Lift a Car!)
The bond created by cyanoacrylate is one of the strongest in the adhesive world. In fact, a Guinness World Record was set in 2011 when just 9 drops of super glue lifted a 5-ton vehicle.
GH1200 Super Glue leverages this strength with:
- Industrial-grade hold – Bonds metals, ceramics, and plastics permanently.
- Shock resistance – Stays intact under vibration or impact.
- Temperature tolerance (-50°F to 250°F) – Survives extreme conditions.
How Fast Does Super Glue Dry?
- Initial bond: 10–30 seconds
- Full strength: 24 hours (for maximum durability)
For best results:
- Clean surfaces (dirt weakens adhesion).
- Apply sparingly—a drop is often enough.
- Hold firmly for 30 seconds.
Super Glue for Metal, Plastic, and More
1. Super Glue for Metal
- Bonds steel, aluminum, and copper.
- Works for metal-to-metal or metal-to-plastic repairs.
- GH1200 Metal Bond includes anti-corrosion additives for long-lasting holds.
2. Super Glue for Plastic
Many adhesives fail on plastic due to low porosity. GH1200 Plastic Fusion is specially formulated for:
- PVC, ABS, and polycarbonate
- Plexiglass and polystyrene
- Flexible plastics (no cracking)
3. Super Glue for Ceramics & Glass
- Invisible repairs—dries clear.
- Waterproof—safe for dishware (though not microwave-safe).
Expert Tips for Using Super Glue Like a Pro
- Avoid cotton/wool (reaction generates heat).
- Store upright—GH1200’s airtight cap prevents drying.
- Use accelerators for faster curing in humid conditions.
- For delicate items, gel formulas prevent runs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- How long does super glue take to dry?
Super glue dries in 10-30 seconds for initial bonding. For full strength, wait 24 hours. GH1200’s fast-curing formula sets even quicker in humid conditions.
- What materials should you not use super glue on?
Avoid cotton, wool, and items exposed to heat (microwaves/ovens). Super glue reacts poorly with porous fabrics and high temperatures. For food-contact items, use food-safe epoxy instead.
- Can super glue bond metal to plastic?
Yes! GH1200’s metal-plastic formula creates permanent bonds. Clean surfaces first and clamp for 30 seconds. Our industrial-grade cyanoacrylate withstands vibration and temperature changes.
- Why does super glue dry so fast?
Super glue polymerizes instantly when exposed to moisture (even humidity in air). GH1200 uses advanced stabilizers to control curing speed—faster than standard adhesives.
- How do you remove dried super glue from skin?
Use acetone (nail polish remover) or soak in warm, soapy water. GH1200’s skin-safe formula washes off easier than industrial adhesives. Never peel—it can damage skin.
