Superglues vs. Polyurethane Glues

Should I use superglue or one of the new polyurethane glues for general-purpose assembly and home repairs?

Dave Dunn Ph.D.

April 19, 2021

I have worked with companies that manufacture superglue and polyurethane glue, both of which are single-component, no-mix adhesives. Superglue, which is the common term for cyanoacrylate adhesive, has been around for about 60 years. In contrast, the polyurethanes are about 20 years old in the retail market and somewhat older in professional woodworking. I admit to using both types of adhesive regularly.
