Viscosity, Does it Matter - Part 2
Windshield Repair Resins and Super Glues are both acrylic glues
This is from Krazy Glue:
Krazy Glue and Extra Strength Gel Krazy Glue are both cyanoacrylate adhesives, commonly known as super glues. However, there are some differences between them:
1. Ingredients:
o Krazy Glue: Made from methyl cyanoacrylate.
o Extra Strength Gel Krazy Glue: Also made from methyl cyanoacrylate, but with a gel formula.
2. Bonding Strength:
o Krazy Glue: Slightly weaker bonding strength.
o Extra Strength Gel Krazy Glue: Offers stronger bonding due to its gel consistency.
3. Consistency and Drying Time:
o Krazy Glue: Has a thinner consistency and dries faster.
o Extra Strength Gel Krazy Glue: The gel formula provides better control, especially on vertical surfaces.
4. Heat and Water Resistance:
o Krazy Glue: Lower heat and water resistance.
o Extra Strength Gel Krazy Glue: Offers higher heat and water resistance.
In summary, if you need a quick, precise bond, go for regular Krazy Glue. For stronger, more flexible bonds, choose Extra Strength Gel Krazy Glue.
1.) Adhesive Strength and Type
When buying the strongest Krazy Glue, consider the adhesive strength and type that is appropriate for your project. It's important to know the maximum bonding strength, which is usually measured in pounds per square inch (PSI). The product’s psi rating should match or exceed the strength requirements of your task.
My Comment – windshield repairs should exceed the requirements of the insurance policy which is pre-loss condition or 100%. If you use Ultra Bond then you know your repairs are over 100%. If you don't and you do not know where your repairs are at, we do free testing at our lab.
