Bostik Super Control: Instant and Universal Adhesive Tested 2026

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 addition to the legendary instant grab that characterizes cyanoacrylate adhesives, Bostik Super Control boasts countless qualities: super strength, no dripping, no running, water resistance, the ability to put repaired items in the dishwasher, and, not least, being universal, i.e., having great adhesive affinity with a wide range of materials.

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.

The results were always positive. Very strong hold between pieces even in the case of...
