Lots of hype there… and unfortunately, it’s way pricey. Around $4 for a small pack.

Still, maybe there’s some situations where it might be better than other adhesives.

Anyone used it?

Said it before years ago and saying it again

Eh_up, the older I get the less I know, rub it in.(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-undecided.gif)

well, we fixed things with chewing gum decades ago.

so, what’s new?

Nope: is a new thing to me.

But talking about a previously unknown glue brings to mind this from yesterday,

New Experiment Reveals Secret Behind 200,000-Year-Old Neanderthal Glue

George Dvorsky

Filed to: THEY CALLED IT NEANDERTAR

Over a hundred thousand years ago, Neanderthals used tar to bind objects together, yet scientists have struggled to understand how these ancient humans, with their limited knowledge and resources, were able to produce this sticky substance. A new experiment reveals the likely technique used by Neanderthals, and how they converted tree bark into an ancient form of glue.

Neanderthals were manufacturing their own adhesives as far back as 200,000 years ago, which is kind of mind blowing when you think about it. We typically think of fire, stone tools, and language as the “killer apps” of early human development, but the ability to glue stuff together was as much of a transformative technology as any of these.

New research published in Scientific Reports reveals the startling ingenuity and intellectual capacities of Neanderthals, and the likely method used to cook up this ancient adhesive.

Neandertal adhesive, huh, the original “Gorilla Glue”?

So…the conspiracy theorists about aliens COULD be correct after all! (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)
