Loctite Super Glue XXL

Loctite Super Glue 20g has earned a permanent place in my toolbox, drawer, glove compartment, and even one of the kitchen cupboards. It’s an all-purpose cyanoacrylate adhesive that performs extremely well across a huge range of day-to-day fixes. What separates it from cheaper alternatives is the combination of drying speed, lasting bond strength, and intelligent packaging — especially the long nozzle and anti-clog cap, which genuinely helps keep the glue fresh between uses (as long as you wipe it after use). In terms of dry time, it sets in under 10 seconds on most non-porous surfaces, sometimes instantly. But full curing — the point at which you can properly stress the bond — takes about 30 minutes depending on the material and temperature. Compared with other superglues like Gorilla or Bostik, I’d say Loctite balances speed and neatness best. Gorilla can be stronger in high-pressure joins or slightly flexible plastics, but it’s messier, takes longer to set, and has a bulkier applicator. Bostik, on the other hand, often lacks Loctite's precision. I’ve used this Loctite glue in well over 25 real-life repairs, and not just quick fixes: sunglasses, broken plastic garden chairs, a detached drone arm, cracked ceramic tiles, rubber shoe soles, snapped earring posts, a leather wallet lining, broken plastic storage boxes, a fridge shelf trim, flaked car trim, and even a model airplane wing that survived being flown again. I also used it on small electronics – specifically to reseat a USB port casing – with great success. On wood, it bonds best when the surface is sanded smooth. On plastic, performance varies; it won’t work on polypropylene or polyethylene (PP/PE) without a primer. On glossy ceramics or glass, I’ve had better luck with Loctite’s glass-specific formula. The precision tip is what makes this version stand out. It lets you control flow so you can dab just a tiny drop — essential for fragile items like jewellery or tight areas inside small devices. When repairing a snapped plastic fan grille on my laptop, I appreciated that it didn’t run everywhere or fog the surface like many high-viscosity gels do. The biggest caution is storage. Once opened, even if capped tightly, it begins to degrade over a few months. By month four, you may notice slower flow or slight thickening. I now write the opening date on the tube and try to use it up within 6–8 weeks for best results. If you’re using Loctite Super Glue frequently — as I do — chances are, eventually you’ll get it on your fingers. It happens. And while it’s not dangerous, it’s definitely annoying and can be mildly uncomfortable if you try to peel it off the wrong way. Here’s what I’ve learned through personal experience and a few too many glue-stuck fingertips: First, don’t panic. If you get a dab on your skin, don’t try to rub or pull it off while it’s still wet. That’ll just spread it and may bond your skin together faster — especially between fingers. Let it dry completely and keep your hands apart. To remove it safely, soak the affected area in warm, soapy water for 10–15 minutes. This softens the bond enough for gentle rolling of the skin to help release it. If the glue is still stubborn, apply a little acetone-based nail polish remover using a cotton bud. Acetone breaks down cyanoacrylate, the base of Loctite glue. Be cautious: acetone is drying, so rinse and moisturise the area afterwards. Avoid scraping with blades or hard abrasives, as they can cause microtears or make things worse. Instead, use an emery board or fine sandpaper if needed — gently, over time — and always moisturise afterwards. If you glue your fingers together, soak them in soapy water and wiggle gently to encourage separation. Never force them apart — tearing bonded skin can cause minor injuries. If you’re truly stuck and can’t resolve it within 30 minutes, seek help from a pharmacist or GP (though that’s extremely rare with Loctite). To avoid future accidents, use gloves for large repair jobs or at least apply petroleum jelly (Vaseline) to your fingertips beforehand. It creates a protective barrier without affecting most repair surfaces. Also, never squeeze the tube aggressively — the smallest pressure delivers enough glue through its precision tip. I now apply it with the nozzle just hovering above the surface, like a syringe. Lastly, keep the glue stored upright in a cool, dry place. If you leave dried glue around the cap or nozzle, it’s more likely to leak or get messy — and that’s when accidents happen. A clean nozzle is easier to control and reduces the risk of unexpected drips. Loctite is powerful, but like most superglues, it needs respect. Use it slowly, prep the surface properly, protect your hands, and treat any skin mishaps gently — and you’ll be surprised how many things you can fix (instead of tossing out). This is a high-performance liquid superglue that excels when applied carefully and used on appropriate materials. It’s ideal for clean, flush repairs with minimal gap. I wouldn’t trust it on highly flexible materials or outdoor repairs long-term, but for most home, craft, and gadget jobs — especially those needing transparency and finesse — it’s still one of the most dependable you can get.

As someone who does a lot of 3D printing, having a reliable super glue on hand is essential, and this 20g bottle of Loctite is perfect for the job. It has become my go-to adhesive for assembling multi-part prints. The liquid formula is ideal for 3D printed parts. It flows well, getting into the small gaps and layer lines, which helps create a really strong, durable bond between pieces. I've used it on both PLA and PETG prints, and it works exceptionally well, setting quickly and curing to a very strong hold. It's saved me a lot of time and hassle on complex projects. The 20g bottle is a great size. It's large enough to last for ages, making it much better value than the tiny tubes you usually see. The nozzle allows for precise application, which is critical when you're working with small or detailed components and don't want glue spilling everywhere. Overall, I'm really impressed. It's a strong, reliable, and easy-to-use super glue that is perfectly suited for 3D printing and general household repairs. Highly recommended.

Very good and provide a good stick. I used this first on a saucepan where the handle was becoming loose and there was no way it could be tightened. It stuck the wooden handle to the metal pan very successfully, so preventing any scalds should the handle and pan separate with hot liquids in it. Very good and I like that it works on wood and metal together.

Dries very quickly, great for sticking magnets to miniature bases, only need a small amount so the value is there. Good quality.

Brilliant, just right for the job I needed it for.

One of the best super glues I've used. Works great for sticking PLA parts together and practically anything else. The nozzle is good, sometimes superglue does get stuck there and I have to unclog it but other than that It's great and easy to apply to most things. Would recommend to pick up a couple of these bottles to have around.

very strong glue ,very good

Excellent Loctite Super Glue.. Great price.. Recommend..

Klebt alles ! Vorsicht sollte nicht auf die Haut kommen, die klebt sonst auch fest. Hinterlässt leider weiße Rückstände, aber das ist bei allen Klebern so. Härtet sofort aus.

Good quality. Needn't wander around. Items reach at doorstep.

Mycket bra lim!

Je suis un habitué des colles de la marque Loctite, j'aime beaucoup leur produit, car c'est de la bonne qualité, la colle est robuste et sèche très vite ! C'est utilisé pour des petits travaux de précision, on met généralement juste un point de colle, à ne pas utiliser pour de grosses surfaces. Il faut quand même faire attention avec ces colles, car ça salit vite à cause du fait que cela sèche très vite, si vous en avez sur les doigts, ne surtout pas se frotter les yeux, ça ne pardonne pas. En fait ça reste un produit relativement dangereux si mal utilisé. Sinon c'est un bonheur, je l'utilise régulièrement pour réparer les broches de ma copine qui se cassent (brol Alliexpress). Sur la photo que je joint le petit ours c'était décollé, avec la Loctite c'est juste un point de colle et ça tiens super bien, mieux qu'avant même et quand je dis que ça sèche vite, je dois juste attendre quelques secondes. je recommande, mais ne donnez pas ça à un enfant, surtout que ça coûte assez cher quand même.

Habe alle meine Sekundenkleber entsorgt - keiner ging mehr. Wielange der LOCTITE "lebt" wird sich herausstellen. Auf jeden Fall hat er das Einhorn meiner Enkelin wiedeer hinbekommen.
