1.WHAT IS SUPER GLUE ?
The incredibly stable adhesive known as Super Glue was invented by accident in 1942 by Dr. Harry Coover. He was working for Kodak Research Laboratories to develop an optically clear plastic for gun sights in 1942.Coover rejected a compound called Cyanoacrylate because it was too sticky. He later realized it's incredible bonding strength. In it's purest form, the stuff can withstand a ton of pressure on a one square  
inch bond. It sets in seconds and can be used to stick anything permanently. Super glue has been proven to have formed the strongest bonds on almost any non porous material including metal,plastic,r ubber, wooden articles, industrial and medical applications.
