Superglue Tube Dry Out Fix Part 2

SuperGlue Tube Dry Out Fix - Part 2

We all use small tubes of SuperGlue to fix things.  But it is really irritating when you've had only a few drops out of the tube, and you go back to use it again and discover that its dried out or glue'd the cap onto the thin aluminum tube

WARNING - do not try to force the cap off, the tube with explode

spraying your hands, face and eyes with SuperGlue

Better To Stop It Drying Out In The First Place - Here's HOW!

Testing Superglue Removal From Uneven Plastic Surfaces - Part 2 Using Heat

This video is Part 2 of a 9 Part series Investigating Superglue Removal From Uneven Plastic Surfaces and has come about after many requests from subscribers to find a solution to the problem of spilling Superglue on their Android Phones, Tablets and Computers.  In this video I experiment with a heat gun, dental scrapers and plastic razor blade to de-bond and remove the Superglue from my deliberately damaged Google Nexus 7 tablet back panel, hopefully leaving the minimum of mess or damage. #fixed1tresearch

Superglue Removal Experiment - Why The Nexus 7 Case

I've been asked why I close the Google ASUS Nexus 7 case on which to apply eight drops of superglue, so I can try to remove them.

In my view, for my experiment to be even remotely scientific it needs to be:

reproducible
use available resources
straight forward
have an end point
work to a goal

Nexus 7 android tablets are readily available. Although the inside of the case is smooth plastic, the back outer surface is a kind of rubberised material and has a rubber like feel.  This surface is definitely rough and is likely to absorb and hold the bonded Superglue.  It may even have its surface covering compromised and changed by the superglue.

Here are the 8 individual drops, magnified significantly:

Superglue Droplet 1

Superglue Droplet 2

Superglue Droplet 3

Superglue Droplet 4

Superglue Droplet 5

Superglue Droplet 6

Superglue Droplet 7

Superglue Droplet 8

So there are the 8 drops of bonded superglue.  Number 8 is my control and when all other things have been tested I will then try a proprietary superglue remover.

Removing Superglue From Uneven Plastic Surfaces - Part 1 The Experiment

This video is Part 1 of a 9 Part series Investigating Superglue Removal From Uneven Plastic Surfaces and has come about after many requests from subscribers to find a solution to the problem of spilling Superglue on their Android Phones, Tablets and Computers.  In this video I explain the experiment which undertakes to de-bond and remove the Superglue from my deliberately damaged Google Nexus 7 tablet back panel, leaving the minimum of mess or damage. #fixed1tresearch



If you haven't watched the video to the end ;-) then you will have missed the link to Part 2 in this experiment, don't worry I've put the link below:
