Perfect glue for PLA prints. It bonds fast and holds strong. I've been using it to glue printed parts for guitars together. It's really runny and kind of hard to apply without making a mess but it's worth it for how well it works.

Works well but it's thin as water. I assumed it would be thicker or more like a gel. Just be aware its runny.

There's one flaw with this product that I learned about the hard way, the glue is extremely waterlike and *will* come out with nothing but gravity, this ended up ruining one of my hoodies because I got glue all over it due to spillage. (my fault)However here are some general tips to follow when using and things to look out for:1) Be sure to check that the nozzle is clear before use, sometimes the glue will dry in the nozzle and if you squeeze too hard glue will come *flying* out even if you flip it up, it'll keep coming2) Don't squeeze, almost ever, just let gravity do the work. if you're sure the nozzle is clear and nothing's coming out, squeeze a small bit and you should be good to go3) Use some small object like a toothpick to clear the nozzle before use, I just use some tiny allen wrench I don't need anymore but as long as it's small and thin (wink) it should do the trick just fineworks great for 3d prints which is what I mainly use it for, overall a nice glue, just please be careful when using so you don't spill it all over yourself.

great glue for gluing 3D prints together. It can get a little stringy so just watch out for that.

Holy cow! This stuff is incredible. I've been CA glue (super glue) on 3d printed stuff with moderate success, but since trying this, I'll never go back. I've used it on PLA, PETG and ABS with great success. Like others have mentioned, it can be a bit of a learning process to manage its consistency. Try it on something you don't care about first. But once you are familiar with its properties, it's phenomenal. I've glued together parts, cracked prints, plus non-3d printed things, like a friend's broken pot lid handle. Clamping for 24 hours is my go-to, though I'm not sure that length of time is necessary. However, it seems to be working out great, so I'll stick with it. I made a reusable straw holder for my dishwasher that cracked along print lines when I pulled it off the printer bed. I glued along the crack, clamped it, and it's been working like a champ in the dishwasher, even with extra-hot washes and heated drying cycles. 10/10 will be buying this again when I run out...though it seems like one tube is going to last for years.

Used this to glue my Lucite walking cane back together - looks great & seems to be a good hold. Will update if the thing falls apart after some use.

This glue does NOT work!!! It is thin, runny and messy. I opened the tube and it spilled all-over. I can't recommend as it didn't work to bond acrylic antlers togetger. Maybe it would work for something else like paper or some object that have two flat surfaces, not for the acrylic I have. I can't say its easy to use because I wated for a long tome for the pieces to bond. No bond. It stayed wet. Just lost my money; it's not worth it. It is odorless.
