Cyanoacrylate was discovered by Harry Coover at Eastman Kodak during World War II when searching for a way to make plastic gun-sight lenses. It did not solve this problem, since it stuck to all the apparatus used to handle it. It was first marketed to industry as well as consumers in February 1955 as a product called "Flash Glue" which is still available today and now owned by Gary Shipko, president of Super Glue International, a United States based firm. It was patented in 1956 and developed into Eastman 910 adhesive in 1958. The new glue was demonstrated in 1959 on the television show I've Got a Secret when the host Garry Moore was lifted into the air by two steel plates held together with a drop of Eastman 910. Cyanoacrylates are now a family of adhesives based on similar chemistry. Wikipedia

Did you know you can keep on re-inventing Super glue. The exact ingregiants are not set and you can add your own to make your own special brand and just as unique as the first super glue that was introduced many years ago.
So there is an idea, make your own special glue, perhaps with that something different.
Go for the re-usable glue that acts like blu-tac, or coloured glue or special jobs, or the non toxic, no smell super glue !
Glue expander for more of a solid hold with-in small holes in walls.
Water proof glue.
Glue with it's very own glue remover, an extra special tube/combination sold with the glue.
Self closing lid with the tube so you don't forget to close it.


The options are endless.
