I need closure sooner than later.

Cheers for your input but how different would dried glue figure opposed to wet? Are the toxins still toxic after it has cured?

Just asking as it may make a massive difference. I use many toxic chemicals in my line of work requiring COSSH approval and data sheets but their properties change once cured as the chemical reaction is done.

Won't be a problem for me as I have new stuff that won't require glue coming. Just wanted to satisfy myself after a falling out about it but cheers for the input.

Once dried super glue is non toxic, can be used to close wounds, in dental, etc, but you have to make sure its cyanoacrylate and not some other variation. People use it to glue together coffee mugs and drink coffee from them after, so i doubt it would be unhealthy. I just think it would be disgusting, that stuff has some serious odor to it

:rolleyes: oh boy, bunch of stiffs in this thread. I have smoked superglue for years and have experienced no negative efecks. with that sead, i don't think you should be vaping it. Where is it leaking? Screw it in more. Jam it in there.

And if your going to stack batteries, you need to buy a safety fuse. 2cents4safety fuse. Google it.

I have used super glue for several "body" type uses like closing a small wound and fingernails. I have so much super glue in my mouth it isn't funny (a lot of caps...). When I had my caps/crowns/bridges put in, the dentist told me that it was just plain superglue repackaged (by the manufacturer) for dentistry. I also remember it smelled the same.

n-butyl cyanoacrylate, also known as "super glue" was developed by scientists looking for a plastic substitute. They found that moisture quickly polymerizes the substance, which is why superglue, when exposed to the moisture in our oxygen, quickly links to anything it touches. It has been used in the medical field since it was found as a sterile substitute for stitching wounds. Superglue fumes irritate the eyes and nose because they become inert and harden once in contact with our mucous and moisture. It is definitely not recommended to inhale the fumes of heated superglue, and its probably not a good idea to allow superglue to leach into your juice, especially considering our propylene glycol is an alcoholic solvent that I would think, would readily cause superglue to leech into it. Not the best thing to be using in tank projects.

On this side of the pond, we have a substance called Ambroid Pro-Weld. Ambroid is a plastic solvent that welds together the edges of cracks. Ambroid is basically methylethylketone (abbreviated MEK), also called butanone. I've used it with temporary success to weld shut cracks in Stardusts and such. Of course, new cracks then develop, and so on and so on. . .

It's perfectly safe to use if you let the Stardust or whatever dry for a couple of days to let all the Ambroid to bubble up to the surface and evaporate.
