- Instant repair
- Flexible bonds
- Outdoor repair
- Plastic
- Rubber
A flexible, impact-resistant super glue that shines on parts that flex or get knocked around. The signature side-squeeze bottle is the most clog-resistant dispenser in the category, which is why half-used bottles actually stay usable.
Pros
- Rubber-toughened bond flexes with impact, shock, and vibration instead of cracking
- Side-squeeze bottle dispenses from the sides, giving precise control and resisting clogs
- Water, chemical, and freeze resistant, so bonds hold up on outdoor and washed items
Cons
- Tiny 4g bottle empties fast on anything larger than small repairs
- Struggles with the same untreated PE/PP plastics as all standard CA glues
- Gel is thick enough that very fine, thin-line application can be tricky

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does 'rubber-toughened' mean for a super glue?
- The cured bond flexes with impact, shock and vibration instead of cracking, which is where ordinary brittle CA fails. Combined with water, chemical and freeze resistance, it holds up on outdoor items and things that get washed.
- How is the side-squeeze bottle different?
- It dispenses from the sides rather than the top, which gives finer control and resists clogging. The gel is thick enough that very fine, thin-line application is still tricky.
- How much glue is in the bottle?
- Only 4g, which empties fast on anything beyond small repairs. It also shares the standard CA limitation — untreated polyethylene and polypropylene will not bond.
