The brand that arrived is "Jue-Fish Welding Superglue High Strength Oily Glue" from Amazon Prime, 30g in a 50ml (?) bottle, a useful amount, £1.99, with a separate push-on, long, fine nozzle as an option for tiny work.
It handles differently from a low viscosity superglue, it has higher viscosity and I am able to apply a thin, visible line of glue straight from the bottle, without using the separate fine nozzle. Good start.
I did not try to achieve finger-held "instant" gluing because some first tests on bits of cardboard were not very encouraging.
See photos below.
I got two empty aluminium shandy cans and tried to glue them bottom-to-bottom, with glue on only one of the thin "ridges". I put 5 lolly sticks on one can using rubber bands, as a "guide cage", and applied a thin line of glue to the "ridge" on the other can and dropped it into the "cage" on the first can. I left it for half an hour and I could then pull the assembly out of the cage.
The resulting assembly is neat, the clear glue is inconspicuous and the bond feels strong, I have not broken it yet because I may want to run a similar test with 151 Fast Epoxy (2-part) and maybe Everbuild Lumberjack 5-Minute Polyurethane (1-part).
So my first impression of the Jue-Fish Oily Glue is "Hmmm, yes, interesting", and this little 30g sample bottle will go a long way on small jobs. So it now sits with my other glues and they say it lasts for 3 years in cool storage, though I doubt that! (I hardly ever use the thin traditional Superglues, but I might try them as a wood COATING.)
