has anyone tested the strength of gorrilla glue. is it really that much better than superglue?

[–] LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In my experience, superglue sticks harder but it's super brittle and harder to set up a good bond. Gorilla glue is more flexible, so can be a tougher bond depending on the application. It's similar with some epoxies vs JB weld. JB weld has a bit of give to it, so it can end up significantly tougher than glass-like epoxies. There are also plenty of more flexible bonding agents, so which is best can really vary task to task.

Project Farm (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vR15u0vmms in this case) is an excellent source of unbiased reviews.

He's not always the most in-depth, and his reviews can miss some important usability metrics, but he's excellent for showing his work. If you want good A/B reviews, I'd be hard pressed to not recommend him. Just mind that some of the items he shows aren't going to be as easy as they look to use.

(my opinion came from my experience, so I won't be shocked if his tests disagree, but he's still a good recommendation for a huge variety of goods) EG: Some of these glues really suck at adhering to certain surfaces, so it really can be a case by case basis as to which is absolutely best.
