Is there a superglue that's liquid not gel?

[Min]

Hi folks
I want to do a hack with superglue and sodium bicarbonate, so it needs to be liquid superglue.
Any idea which superglues are liquid, not gel?
Thanks!

Yes you can get different thickness of superglue. Look at modeling shop supplies

Thank you Random Grinch (busy time of year for you) - there's a Screwfix 20 mins from here.
Thank you Wayners (best mix of sock and chocolate in your profile pic that I've seen in ages). I live in a small village of under 2000 inhabitants . . . . which has a model shop! So thank you very much.

The cheap shops like Poundland, B&M, and Home Bargains also sell it, you can get three or four tubes in a pack for £1.

The Poundland and others, Pak of ten on a card, are as good as any. As the tubes are so small, use them, throw away. No worries about storing them correctly. You do know to store them in the fridge?

I wonder if Mitre Mate (or similar) would work? After all it is basically a 2-part superglue with a liquid adhesive and a spray catalyser - and every joiner has some in their kit (and if they haven't, they should have)

same chemistry, but there is no filler, that is the essence of the hack.

Doesn't the bicarb also add volume - like mixing sawdust with PVA?

yes but Miter mate hasn't got any 'bulking' material in it Like bicarb. The reply was to Job and Knock's post

True, bit in its' intended "environment" it normally doesn't need any (a bit like PVA - if your joints are that bad you need to take up a hobby like welding instead...)

The suggestion was made in case the OP had some kicking about not being used.

Yes it works perfectly with bicarb
