Graphite powder will work without the baking soda and still be just as strong, but it will take between 5 and 25 seconds to harden, depending on the particle size of the graphite, room temperature, humidity, etc. The baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is an accelerant to the superglue (cyanoacrylate) and makes it harden much much faster. If you use just graphite powder, without the baking soda, you can actually mix it into a smooth paste and apply it... if you are fast enough... within 30 seconds. I prefer to mix graphite and baking soda in a 10:1 ratio giving just enough accelerant to insure a complete cure, but still giving me a couple of seconds work time. The graphite powder I use is 50 microns particle-size, but 44 microns will work just as well. I haven't tried the 37 micron powder (400 mesh), but it will probably work well with the thin superglue. One last thing: the thinnest superglue is best because it is able to completely soak into the powder before it hardens. The gel-superglue sits on top too long and forms a hard surface over the powder. However, if you use just graphite powder, without the baking soda, you can use gel-superglue and have time to stir it up and make a paste... but be quick about it. I hope this helps.

Are you thinking expansion upon setting, or thermal expansion? You'll just have to do an experiment for the setting expansion. The overall CTE - coefficient of expansion - will be a combination of the ingredients. So, the glue is basically plastic when it sets up - about 35e-6 in/in/deg F. The filler is whatever it is. The overall CTE will be a combination of the CTE's and the proportions. The trick is knowing what the proportions are.

Graphite heats up a lot if you use enough on top of flammable materials you are in for a fire. Also the test on fumes of all of these are unaccounted for, best to do it outside if you must

They say that the most important part of concrete isn't the lime, but is the filler you use. The same is true for most composites (like these are technically composites).

lime is added for work-ability Has no tensile strength..

I've heard graphene is the future of strong material

Try mixing CA glue with diatomaceous earth. That's been my secret sauce. I want to see that test.

More wow!!! Thank you!

One of the " super- wicking" types is best. I put glass powder in the area to be filled the apply the glue. The reaction is exothermic... be carefull.

Drilling in the right direction would be helping ;9

Either one will work, but there's nothing better than to use something that has strands in it, that will make it a lot stronger, steel wool is one of them

@@ianmontgomery7534 Yep. I tried that a few months ago, after seeing a YT video about using cotton balls and CA glue. I didn't have any cotton balls or cotton batten on hand, but did have a box of (mostly) cotton dryer lint. It worked like a charm - very strong.

Could a combination of cement powder or sand powder with the superglue be used for sidewalk repairs? Currently if a major crack is encountered, the repair cost is very high because of all the processes involved, vis City comes and 1) put totem safety barriers around the sidewalk 2) jackhammer to break the piece of sidewalk 3) excavate the sidewalk pieces and put in crushed rock. 4) Create forms for the new sidewalk 5) Pour the new sidewalk cement and do finishing (lines, levelling, etc). 6) Cleanup. Average hours, about 1/2 day with a team of between 2 and 3 people. Glue patch repair. 1) put totem protective barriers around. 2) Put down sheet onto which you put some sand and then 3) Take some sand, some glue, mix togetherand put into the repair area. 4) Repeat 3) as necessary 5) smooth and to the patch dry overnight 6) remove totem safety barriers. I believe that the latter repair will survive heaving, frost, -20C, salt from ice protection sand/salt spreader Labour for the patch is about 1 person / half day. and material cost about 1/10th to 1/20th of pad replacement method.

I have a few carbon rods from old school batteries. I'm going to give that a try.

Wow, and I thought superglue and baking soda formed the strongest bond… My life is a lie

You should try graphene, boron nitride or diamond dust!

For gluing rocks together for aquascapes in fish tanks people use cigarette filters and super glue- it dries like rock.

The 'graphite' contained in pencils is a mix of graphite and clay.

I'd like to see a comparison between regular charcoal and activated charcoal!

Charcoal powder and hide glue was used to simulate ebony in early musical instrument making decorations. I have tried this mixture and the results are quite impressive.

Magnesium or aluminium powder with Super Glue also works really well.

Until the magnesium mix gets too close to a flame after the repair... Or the aluminum, but if it gets hot enough I don't think worrying about the repair will be an issue.

More simple. In the instance of gear teeth broken out, make wax mold of correct teeth, remove gear and rotate to where teeth void are, pour in powder & tap to settle, pour in water thin Superglue to harden & solidify, de-mould, DONE!!!

Different fillers for different requirements are available from Henkel/Loctite, 3M and other established adhesive manufacturers. A thickened crazy glue is simply that.

Good thing I didnt't use the baking soda trick on my kids swing set yet... Now I can use lead pencils instead and save them from tragedy. Thank you Inventor 101.

Or just buy graphite powder. Some art supply stores have it, also just read elsewhere in the thread that it’s used as an automotive lubricant in some circumstances.

So you get that by mixing pencil graphite with baking soda?

What are the best proportions of graphite to baking soda to get best adhesive?

So if this is how good simple graphite powder works, what happens if you used graphene of some rgo?

does crushed charcoal powder any good too?

How do these compare to 2-pot adhesives or putty?

As a guess: significantly quicker to cure, but harder and more brittle than epoxy adhesives.
