E6000 Vs. Super Glue: What’s The Difference?
E6000 has more strength than Super Glue. E6000 glue has a shear strength of 7000 psi, approximately 48.2 MPa. Super glue has a shear strength of 4000psi, about 27.5 MPa. E6000 takes only five minutes to dry while Super glue takes 2-3 minutes to dry.
E6000 Vs. Super Glue: Specs & Uses
Before using these glues, you should know that E6000 is made with a solvent and can stretch while Super Glue is made with water and can stretch less than E6000.
Several days ago, I did tests on E6000 vs. Gorilla Glue, and here is a part of my experiment on the contestant.
My Hands-on Test of E6000
✅Pros: E6000
It is easy to work with and cures well even in humid conditions. The bond created between dissimilar materials, like a metal hoop and a stone pendant, is strong and durable.
The fierce smell of the glue does require using it in a well-ventilated area, and it’s not for quick applications. However, it is some of the best stuff out there for small projects that need to stay stuck.
GS Hypo Cement Vs. E6000
The main difference between GS Hypo Cement Vs. E6000 is: E6000 has better-specified properties like viscosity, cure time, elongation, temperature range, and chemical resistance. However, E6000 contains toxic ingredients while GS Hypo Cement does not.
G-S Hypo Cement is a versatile adhesive that works well with Beadalon
and other stretchy cords used in beading. Heck, E6000 is ideal for bonding and repairing all kinds of materials, indoors and outdoors.
I love that these come in small tubes because you only need a tiny bit, and the large tubes tend to dry out before you can use them all. These small tubes are perfect for my smaller projects and prevent any waste, as the glue doesn’t dry up.
Versatility
I have used this glue on wood, rubber, and metal, and it sticks well. The secret is to let it sit for 24 hours before any use. I highly recommend this glue for various crafting projects, such as craft tumblers, and prefer the one that dries clear. Overall, E6000 glue has proven to be much better than any other adhesive I’ve tried and I will definitely continue using it for my future projects.

Q: What is the maximum temperature that this adhesive can withstand for a ceramic plate setter in a grill/smoker?
A: It’s unlikely that this glue is designed to withstand such high temperatures.
Q: Is E6000 resistant to gasoline and does it harden?
A: It’s uncertain if this glue is resistant to gasoline, but constant exposure to gasoline may erode the bond. The glue remains somewhat flexible when it dries.
Q: What type of glue is E6000 and does it fill gaps?
A: E6000 is a rubber contact glue that can fill small gaps and create a strong bond.
Q: Does this glue dry out the nozzle and lid like super glue?
A: The lid may stick, but the glue doesn’t fuse with the surface like super glue. The nozzle may need to be cleared and scraped out before each new project.

My Hands-on Test of The Original Super Glue
✅Pros
The glue held up perfectly, and I didn’t have to worry about the earring falling apart again.
What sets this super glue apart is its unique bottle design. Unlike other brands that come in tubes, this glue is packaged in a bottle that is less prone to clogging and drying out. I’ve had a bottle of this glue last for years without drying out, making it a much more cost-effective option compared to other brands.
Easy to Use and Very Precise
The bottle’s spout allows for a controlled drip of the glue, preventing any messes or waste. Plus, the glue dries quickly, so I don’t have to wait around for it to set before moving on to the next step in my project.
Strength
But what really sets this glue apart is its strength. Recently, I used this glue to fix a pair of shoes that had started to come apart at the sole. I was skeptical that the glue would hold up, but to my surprise, the shoes held together perfectly. I’ve also used this glue to fix a broken mug and a cracked phone case, and it’s worked wonders in both instances.
In terms of price, this super glue is a great value. It’s affordable and long-lasting, making it a cost-effective option for any project. Plus, the fact that the glue comes in a bottle means that I don’t have to worry about it drying out and becoming unusable after just a few uses.
