Make a super glue plastic lawn chair as a gag/humor item. Your guest sits in it and cannot get out of it.

They can easily make ten pounds of it in just a few days. Oh, OK. So scalability is nearly impossible, but sure, let’s revolutionize plastics. Yep, I get it.

When superglue is used to stick something together, it is actually reacting with moisture in the air or on the surface of whatever is being glued together. So...introducing a small bit of moisture to the two (or one) surface(s) to be super glued will improve the efficacy of the super glue?

They’re making plastic cutlery out of cyanide?
You’ll be a big hit at the Fourth of July party.

I must say, I was kind of blown away when I saw someone do that stuff with super glue and baking soda.
Of course, I am the kind of guy who goes to the State Fair, and sees the hawkers demonstrating their products like the slicer dicer devices, and I am in the crowd of people frantically pulling the money out of my pocket...:)
But still, it looks promising

“easily produced transparent plastic called polyethyl cyanoacrylate that has properties similar to those of plastics used for single-use products like cutlery, cups and packaging”
Yeah, I’m not using any compound with “cyano” in it for cutlery, cups, or food packaging.

If it is not made from oil, what is it made from?

Superglue component chemicals are derived from oil. Further, superglue exposure is known to cause lung and other problems in humans.
