In my experience there is no Super in Super Glue. I've heard it was invented to close flesh wounds quickly and without stitches, don't know if that's true. It has two redeeming qualities: it dries very fast and it is light weight. That makes it popular when building RC airplanes and models from balsa wood. From every other standpoint, it sucks. Open a tube, use enough to cover the head of a pin and in a week it is all dried out. It is now sold in tiny tubes which are the cat's meow. It has some utility when working with mechanical watches as it is a substitute for quality Horology craft lathe work and is light enough to not ruin the work of the balance. I suppose it makes a decent thread locker, but Loktite works better. The ads showing a man hanging from his helmet that is glued to something are probably BS as I've easily broken a bond made with the Super stuff. I would imagine that a cracked stock repaired with super glue would work well until it breaks or comes off.Information
