Loctite 380 Instant Adhesive - 50g

I have never paid more than $40/45 US for a 1oz. bottle,........just did a quick search and found several suppliers selling it in that range.

I bought a bottle of IC2000 but it went off very quickly and won't ever buy again.

I spent substantial amount myself on this IC2000 by BSI also and I had the same thing with the entire bottle going off (hard) in the bottle even with the original manufacturers lid.. not at all happy about the wasted money and will not and can not recommend this rubbish product. I even emailed BSI about this and have never heard back from BSI about this, typical for such a business to simple take my money for inferior products.

Avoid BSI products at all costs...

Go Kevan…. That Uhu superglue is popular here too…and I agree that a short time between gluing and truing is important.

I use the cheapest runniest stuff I can find.
It works ok.

Was there ever a result posted from Graham's tests, if so where please?

I am sorry but having got a selection of the adhesives, I just got distracted by other things at the time and the never set set up the planned tests.
And the idea came about because of the number of proxy cars I receive where the adhesion appears to fall off on the wheels after a time.
It was always going to be difficult because of issues like wheel preparation and the actual testing criteria applied to the wheels etc, but it is a good reminder and if time allows I think it would be a good thing still to do.

It might have been interesting if at the time you asked the participants whos tyres became unstuck exactly what adhesive THEY used, maybe eliminating some of the glues, or finding a common denominator.

I did at the time, and there was different types of adhesive failure for some adhesives. But it would not be right to necessarily blame one adhesive or another if the preparation was not the same.
And that would have been a major reason to do the the test.
