We conducted a comprehensive test of this cyanoacrylate adhesive to confirm the many features it boasts. This is Bostik Super Control in the classic 3 g tube version and the “+” version, also upright, with a 5 g capacity.

In particular, in our test we focused heavily on this last characteristic, carrying out a very large number of tests with everything we had available and of which, for obvious space reasons, we only partially report in this article.

We deliberately never used gloves or any protection for the work surface used each time for bonding, with the intention of making a final report on any dripping or running on the hands, which did not occur. When applying the product, we always used simple common sense to determine how much was needed: in addition to the absorbency of the material (greater for wood, zero for polished steel) we assessed, as far as possible, the size of the actual contact points between the pieces to be joined, without ever exceeding the quantity; therefore, except in rare cases, we always applied the minimum amount of adhesive necessary.
The results were always positive. Very strong hold between pieces even in the case of...
