The go-to instant repair glue for small jobs on plastic, rubber, and metal. The gel body makes it far more controllable than watery super glues, and the impact-toughened cure holds up to knocks that would shatter a brittle CA bond.

Pros

  • Thick gel stays put on vertical and overhead surfaces without dripping or running
  • Impact-toughened formula survives drops and vibration better than thin CA glues
  • Anti-clog cap with a metal pin keeps the nozzle sealed for repeated use

Cons

  • Will not bond untreated polyethylene or polypropylene (needs a plastics primer for those)
  • Sets in seconds, so misaligned parts can't be repositioned once contact is made
  • Small 15g bottle dries out if the cap isn't seated perfectly between uses
