Now that is interesting......

It would have gotten us in trouble back in 1959 or so.

Dr Harry Coover of Eastman Chemical co invented super glue back in the late 50’s . it was marketed as Eastman 910 adhesive. His son was actually in my class of 1960. He made the stuff and put it in his spectrometer that was then glued shut and destroyed....... or so the story goes

There was all kinds of strange stuff to promote it. Lots was floating around town.

It was brought to school. Some one glued a string of Coke bottles from one end to the other of the geometry class room. one teacher had decorative plates glued to the black board. A coach that ran study hall had his chair glued to the deck. and on and on.

I can only imagine the mischief that could come from super super glue.

I printed your post for my shop

I’ve successfully used baking soda and superglue to patch broken computer parts, as well as other plastic products such as radios and toys. Push cracked parts together, put a pile of baking soda on the seam on the inside of the device and flow superglue on it, fixed in 5 seconds. I built some custom cabinet doors for my kitchen with it. Mitered some plastic trim (a lot of door and window trim is plastic based now), clamped the trim in a form and used baking soda and superglue to bond the corners. Any excess can be sanded even with the plastic trim. Then paint if wanted. I bonded the surround trim to high-quality plywood panels, and stained all for beautiful cabinet doors. Made for a fast build.

I’ve been using this stuff to finish off 3D items I print with my 3D printer. Smooth it on over gaps and seams, then sand and polish.
