Loctite Super Glue, Go2 Repair and Tips

Reviewed by Patty

I don’t know how many times I have needed a super glue type adhesive, only to find out that the little metal tube of glue has dried up or the cap has glued itself on! It seems like you have to buy a new tube every time you need it! Now there is a product you can count on when you need it! Loctite Super Glue Ultra Gel Control comes in an easy to use plastic bottle with an easily removable lid.

Disclosure: I received the above pictures products from Loctite to facilitate my review. My opinion is honest and my own and is not influenced by compensation.

All you have to do is squeeze the soft rubbery sides of the bottle and a small metered amount pops out of the top, unlike the metal tubes that ooze out all over the place!

I used my Loctite Super Glue to fix a frame that had fallen off the wall and separated in one of the corners. It wasn’t a super expensive picture, but matched my bathroom decor so I really wanted to keep it. I used only 2 drops of this gel glue and held it in place for a minute or two and voile! The frame was fixed!

I also had a small Pampered Chef spatula that separated from the handle. This was my best cookie spatula and I had glued it once with a dollar store super glue. That bond lasted for about 2 weeks. I used the Loctite glue on the spatula and it was set within seconds! This glue can be used on metal, rubber, ceramics, wood, leather, paper and plastic, so on pretty much anything! Loctite products have so many uses, inside and outside the house.

Where to buy: This product and many other Loctite products can be found on Amazon.com. You can also visit the Loctite.com website to see their amazingly expansive line of products and watch a how to video demonstrating their products. Loctite.com also provides a list of dealers in your area that carry Loctite products.

Also available from Loctite are 2 other new products – Loctite GO2 Repair Adhesive Putty, which can be used to bond 2 surfaces together, fill gaps or reconstruct an item with a hole or chip in it. The 2nd product is similar to the Loctite Super Glue Ultra Gel Control, but in a super thin fast drying liquid for really precise small projects.

You’ll get stuck on Loctite!

Tips

If the NFL season has you questioning if your coffee table can take another beating, or if your carpet can withstand yet another spill, Loctite offers the following pre-game tips:

· Call in reinforcements. And we’re not talking about more chips and dip (although, that’s never a bad idea). Fill in any nicks, dents or cracks in your coffee and tables with Loctite Ultra Gel. The glue reinforces the wood and prevents further chipping or splinting the next time Uncle Jeff slams his beer down in frustration. Even better, it dries crystal clear.

· Get a handle on things. It’s more than likely that those new team beer mugs you got aren’t built to withstand every touchdown toast. Should a handle come loose, simply reattach with Loctite Ultra Liquid Control. It creates a strong, permanent bond that is dishwasher safe.

· Don’t fumble. For anyone trying to squeeze in bathroom breaks within 30- and 60-second timeout intervals, cracked or broken tiles can be catastrophic. While rushing to and from the TV, guest can easily slip or trip on the uneven surface. Set loose tiles or broken pieces back in place with Loctite Go2 Glue. The hybrid formula dries clear and doesn’t foam or crack so your tiles will look good as new in a snap.

· Avoid the injury report. When your touchdown dance causes a rogue elbow to knock over a miniature, bobble-head version of your favorite player, mend them easily with Loctite Go2 Repair Putty. It fills and adheres to nearly any material and can be easily molded, sanded and painted to blend in perfectly with their (miniature) frame.
