Cyanoacrylate Adhesive
Harry Coover first met cyanoacrylates in 1942 while looking for a clear plastic for gun sights, and rejected them because they stuck to everything. In 1951 at Eastman Kodak he and Fred Joyner met them again - and this time saw a glue that set in seconds with no heat or pressure. It was sold from 1958.
**US 2,794,788**, "Adhesive compositions containing alkyl esters of cyanoacrylic acid", Coover and Shearer, Eastman Kodak, filed 1. November 1952, granted 4. June 1957, claims the monomeric alkyl α-cyanoacrylate adhesive. **US 2,768,109**, "Alcohol-catalyzed alpha-cyanoacrylate adhesive compositions", Coover, filed 2. June 1954, granted 23. October 1956, claims "strongly bonding wood having an acidic surface character" by first moistening it with an alcohol of 1 to 8 carbon atoms.
**You test that second claim on oak**, an acidic wood: dry, wiped with isopropyl alcohol, and misted with water.

Saw eighteen oak strips 80 x 20 mm, about 5 mm thick. Sand one end face of each with 180 grit and dust off. Pencil-mark three groups: dry, IPA, water.

Gloves and glasses on. One drop of CA on one end, overlap a partner strip by 20 mm, press 5 seconds and start the stopwatch. Every 10 seconds hang the spring scale from the free strip and pull to 2 N: record when it first holds. Three joints per group.

History & Context
History & Context
**What the patents specify:** a monomeric alkyl α-cyanoacrylate adhesive held liquid by an acid inhibitor, and, for acidic surfaces, a prior wipe with a C1–C8 alcohol. **Modern build (derived):** hardware-store CA glue on oak.
CA spread from industry to every workshop, and in the Vietnam War medics used a CA spray to seal wounds; purpose-made medical grades followed. Its limits: brittle joints that fail in peel and impact, poor gap filling, and it bonds skin instantly - acetone releases it.
