I am referring to that blue and white
putty which has a 101 uses when the two colours are mixed together. Once I puttied up a leaking fuel tank with it and it stuck there for ever.
Used a small bit today to fix a denture as the plurry thing keeps on breaking(bad design).
A chemists out there with knowledge?

Willem,
Not the full 24 hours yet, but if the dentures have not stuck to your mouth or have broken again then the glue is alright.

Hahahahahaha
The experiment did not work as the
putty did not stick to the plastic.
It also tasted funny so I would advise anyone to err on the side of caution before putting in mouth lol
Will give superglue another go.

I would
hazard a guess, that seeing you have to mix the two parts, which constitutes a chemical reaction, it should set, in a neutral toxic state. Besides, it's not that much, and you are only perhaps tasting it, if at all.

what sort of dentures? I glued a snapped denture plate (for front tooth) made out of that plastic / bakerlite stuff which is skin coloured with super glue which did a superb job for weeks (damn hard to get a dentist in these parts) it was as good as new and didnt fail

Mine's plastic and metal fused. It now has
putty fused in as
well :o)
I tried super glue when they first broke in the
Simpson Desert.(Bought a tube in
Birdsville at 4 times the normal price lol). But it didn't work all that
well. Have had it repaired by specialits twice since then and have now resorted to bush methods.
Hope you have a good Christmas out there in the West.

Hi Eric
Actually I have a good sun tan ( all that work in the garden pulling weeds ). But if an obituary notice appears on the

Do the tubes have a
breakdown of the chemical composition Willem?
if so, this could help those more knowlegable than us to identify any nasties.

it works on the basis of the part B contianing a chemical like papi 27 which is a isocyanate. as you kneed the part a and b together they will generate heat.
once cured they are classed harmless but will give of an odour for about 24 hours.
the problem is the part B can desensertise you as your body absorbs the chemical but cannot rid itself of it once its been absorbed. so when you later in life hit that critical limit for your body mass you can become very sick.

As mentioned above, the putty didn't stick and had been discarded.

Hello Willem,
Only comment I'd make about the 2 or 3 references to Super Glue and its derivatives is they contain Cyano Acrylates. These are derived from Cyanide as are the Isocyanates.
Probably best not to stick Super Glue in your mouth,
Geoff.

Wasn't Superglue invented during WW2 to assist doctors stitching up the wounded?
Anyway I now have thought of using my soldering iron(after cleaning it) to fuse the cracks in the plastic together.
Gotta keep the ideas coming lol

Willem,
I'll take your word on the WWII reference.
I've never heard or thought to ask the origins of Super Glue before today.
Good old fashioned plastic welding, suck in those fumes!!
You live and learn,
Geoff.
