Summary

Starbond’s Super Glue is a very thick and heavy-duty glue that can be used on various surfaces. The glue comes in a tube with extra extension tips and applicators, as well as a nozzle stopper.

This adhesive is highly recommended for bonding parts together for cars in particular. One of its main selling points is shock and impact absorbance. This is an important feature to have when it comes to detached or broken car parts.

Aside from reattaching car parts together, this has other versatile uses as well. It is an ideal adhesive for filling in knots and bugholes, hiding imperfections, and also covering up chipped wood. The glue is already dyed black so there is no need for you to paint over it.

This also has a very long shelf life and can be kept in storage for multiple years. As long as you keep it in room temperature and the lid shut airtight, the glue should not harden.

One of the main drawbacks of this product is that it may crack in some instances. If you use this adhesive for wood, the wood might also soak it up completely. Try to use thick, generous layers to prevent this from happening.
