Turbo glue

I am not normally in the habit of endorsing products, but this stuff (Hamil contact glue) is ridiculous. Looks and smells like the old Evo-Stik, but on this afternoon's experience it bonds wood so fast (15 seconds?) that you have to watch your fingers or they'll get stuck as well. I only just managed to get my workpiece into position (a gate repair) before it set. And that was using it "wet", not applying it to both sides and then bringing together when they were tacky. It's almost as if they'd mixed some superglue in with it. (Hey, maybe they have?)

Anyway it's the grabbiest glue I've ever used. And the really annoying thing is that I can't remember where I bought it. :roll: Poundland? Wilko? Somewhere cheap, anyway. Aargh! Think I might be onto Mr Ebay for some more supplies, though.

Anybody ever heard of it before? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Super-Strong ... 3006687173

Hmm, just looked at the label, and it says "Caution: bonds skin in seconds". And that just about wraps it up for the theory that this is some sort of a latex/superglue hybrid.

Great stuff, though!

For anyone that's interested, I've just seen it - it is available in Poundworld.
