Super glue may provide a quick fix for many things but it also has serious drawbacks. The glue isn´t elastic and it deteriotates in alkaline substances and mild heat. Once you open the the bottle, it should be stored refrigerated to prevent it from hardening. <br>I saw more than one person accidently glue fingers to something because the glue hardens that fast (as the glue needs moisture to harden you can actually glue your fingers to two objects and the objects still don´t stick together). That could be more than a minor mishap.<br>So generally super glue may be a nice-to-have item but it doesn´t make it to my important items list.
