It’s actually funny going back and watching early episodes of The New Yankee Workshop and hearing Norm brag about the “new” glues that were coming available. “This is a one-part glue, you don’t have to mix it up, it’s ready to use in the bottle, it’s water proof and it cleans up with water! I wouldn’t have even tried doing this myself without these modern glues.” They avoided showing brand names and such on the show; Norm was usually careful to hold the glue bottle with the back facing the camera, but he’s clearly holding a bottle of Titebond 2, with it’s blue cap.

Of all the technological change I’ve lived to see, glue and tape have improved the most.

There’s this tape called frog tape. It’s quite amazing. Uses powerful science
And gorilla tape can remove your skin
And silicone tape fuses to itself molecularly
I guess Tesla missed that memo then…
Doesn’t matter how good thing have gotten when you choose to be cheap and use the wrong stuff.
Same thing with their leaking displays because they ignored the extreme heat minimums real car manufacturers used.
