Loctite

Loctite Super Glue

Loctite super glue is a cyanoacrylate adhesive that bonds in seconds from a single drop. It dries clear for near invisible repairs and grips metal, wood, china, rubber, leather, paper and most plastics.

Most of the range is water and dishwasher resistant once cured, and many tubes have an anti clog cap so the glue stays usable between jobs. Typical sizes run from 1g mini tubes to the 20g bottle.

Liquid or gel: choosing the right Loctite super glue

• Liquid: thin and fast, best for tight fitting parts and fine cracks. Try the Loctite Super Glue Precision Max with its long nozzle for hard to reach spots.
• Gel: thicker and non drip, so it stays put on vertical surfaces, porous materials and gaps.
• Brush on: the Easy Brush spreads an even layer over larger or awkward areas.
• Multipacks: Mini Trio and Maxi Trio packs keep a fresh tube ready, since an opened tube has a limited life.

Loctite Power Gel and Extreme glue

Power Gel adds rubber particles to the formula, so the bond can absorb knocks, flex and vibration. It suits shoes, toys, ornaments and outdoor items better than standard liquid glue.

The Loctite Power Gel 20g is sized for bigger jobs, and you can reposition parts for up to 60 seconds. Loctite Extreme Glue and Extreme Non Drip Gel are made for heavier duty repairs.

Loctite threadlocker

Threadlocker is applied to the threads of metal nuts, bolts and screws before tightening. It cures into a solid plastic that stops vibration loosening the fixing and also seals against leaks and corrosion.

Our Loctite Threadlocker 5g is a medium strength formula for everyday DIY, bike, car and machinery fixings, which can still be undone with normal hand tools.

Epoxy and specialist Loctite glues

Loctite Extreme Epoxy is a two part gel that reaches full strength after 24 hours for permanent, gap filling repairs. Specialist glues cover jobs a standard super glue struggles with:

• Super Glue Glass for glass to glass and glass to metal, dishwasher resistant once cured
• Super Glue All Plastics, with an activator pen for difficult plastics
• Rear View Mirror Bonder for windscreen mounted mirrors
• 60 Seconds All Purpose Glue and All Purpose Adhesive for larger surfaces and mixed materials

Glue remover and Rust Remedy

Loctite Glue Remover is a non drip gel that lifts dried glue and stains and lets you correct a bad bond. Loctite Rust Remedy neutralises surface rust and leaves a protective layer that can be sanded after 15 minutes.

Tips for a strong bond

Make sure both surfaces are clean, dry and free of grease. Use one drop per square centimetre, as too much glue slows curing and weakens the joint, then press the parts together for 10 to 30 seconds.
