Loctite

I went out today to purchase a 4gm of your glue i used it on a small photo frame but it ran out before i got half way round the frame and it costed me around £6 and i wasnt impressed at all i gave it a 1 star but if i can give it a 0 star i would of you need to look into this and the quantity you put in your product this is a complete rip off even ordinary super glue in shops you do get a full bottle but your stuff you get nothing like that this is my photo frame as you can see ive only managed to do the 2 sides and not the other so i have waisted the money on a useless and not worth the money glue thank you loctite

This is the second try on the Loctite for cement. I cannot give a review on how it works because the first time the white compound would not come out and the second one the dark grey was dried up. No more.

Loctite All Purpose 2 in 1 seal and bond sealant product is junk. Loctite is owned by Henkel a German company. Previously they produced good sealants and adhesives.
They claim this product is the same as the original formula - It is not!. They claim flexibility and durability -It is not. The product is now filled with about 70% silica-sand in a very large particle size. There is a small amount of polymer and about 2% solvent, if that much. So your left with essentially what you can make your self with 70% sand and some clay -real junk. Of course with that much silica the adhesion is terrible. It balls up and stick to your trowel. You cannot work it. Since there is so little polymer it is not smooth and does not apply well. It applies in chunks as you might expect. The label says it is shelf stable without opening for 18 months. Typically DIYs use from 1/4 to 1/2 of a sealant tube, so they look to use the remained in a couple of months. Forget it! This stuff cured in the tube in 1.5 weeks. The lap shear and tensile strength is pitiful! There is no elongation. Painting required a primer.
I will never use this garbage again and sent my cured tube to their President (Henkel) in CT and told him to use the junk. Use GE (now owned by another company) silicone or Sonalastic; i. E. silicone, silicone acrylics, polyethers, or polyurethanes. Even if there is a $2 difference, since you will spend 4x the effort in using Loctite/Henkel junk with poor performance. I had to redo my work using a good sealant/adhesive. Forget water clean up as a con job. If you must use mineral spirits so what it cleans very well and you can use it to work the product. You can use water to work silicone since the material is hydrophobic. Yes, they all will paint. But, for heaven's sake - do not use a loctite/Henkel product. They have cheapened their product beyond usability! Materials like teh Sonalastic brand made by BASF are sold through a Distributor. You can call and check with a commercial sealant distributor and pick up a very good commercial brand and save yourself a lot of headaches.

I recently bought the loctite super glue with the mechanical squeeze. At first reading the package i thought this is to good to be true. So i waited to write this review to see how it would work. This is by far the best thing on the market going. I wish all your products was put in these types of bottles to your thread lock powergrab and so on. I would love to see it in gaskets material caulking i can o on and on. Ive yet had to worry about clogs every time i open the bottle its ready to go. This is the best design ive seen for anything that would have to be squeezed from a bottle or tube. My wife was amazed how easy it was to use. This is the only super glue i keep in my tool box now. Cause i never have to worry about the tube busting on me and getting every where.ive glued a few things together and my wife couldn't even tell where i glued it back together. I would really like to see this type of bottle used on more products if it could be possible. I can squeeze the right amount and never have to worry about taking the time to try and make a hole every time i use. Just wanted to say great job on the work that was out into this was very thought out. Makes my work alot easier. And the bond is unbelievable and this is after i tried another glue that would not hold it together this is an outside figure that you put in the ground. It was broke completely into and has alot of weight to it i just couldn't believe it and if you can see where it is out together that is not the glue from loctite its from another brand that i couldn't get to hold thanks so much
