how come when gel super glue is on a surface it takes minutes to dry, but when on fingers it dries instantly?
In: Other
The moisture on your skin activates the glue’s curing process. Skin has more moisture and natural oils compared to most surfaces, which accelerates the chemical reaction that makes the glue harden. Additionally, the rough texture of skin provides more surface area for the glue to spread out and react quickly. In contrast, other surfaces typically have less moisture and the glue might be applied in thicker layers, causing it to take longer to dry.
