What Type of Glue Is the Strongest?

CSEF · 2010 Product Science (Physical) (Junior Division Only)

Reid C. Winchester · Stockdale Christian School, Bakersfield, Kern County

Overview

Objectives/Goals The objective of this project was to determine which brand of glue was the strongest: Gorilla Glue, Liquid Nails, Elmer's White Glue or Elmer's Wood Glue. Methods/Materials The four different types of glue were each tested five times by gluing pieces of wood together and pouring water into a bucket (weight) that stressed the glue. Each glue had twenty-four hours to dry. Results I thought that Gorilla Glue would do the best. However, Elmer#s Wood Glue did the best, Elmer#s White Glue was second, Gorilla Glue was third and Liquid Nails was last. Conclusions/Discussion If this project were to be repeated, I would test more glues. I would also use more animal-based glues, rather than chemical-based glues.

Summary statement

My project was about testing different glues to find out which one is could withstand the most weight stress.
