I use 3M Super 77 on these 

And you'll break the hook before they come undone.  

I use long cure Devcon epoxy on everything else.  The quick cure stuff turns yellow and gets brittle.

I now feel fully sorry for you.

Can’t think of any other variable that would ha e affected it but the poppers themselves. But that seems pretty unlikely too. Weird. 

Nope. Just because they are branded the same doesn’t mean they are made in the same place or with the exact same products. Or it could have been tailing solvents in that batch. Or Long Duck Dong might have left the lid open on the catalyst before going home on Friday. 

Absence of air is what really cures CA. Pour some on your finger and watch it. It will take forever to dry. Now do it but press another finger in top. Presto! You’re a retard.

Epoxies like humidity.

Yes, because the FedEx guy delivered today and all that was in the box was more chemo pills.  Blech!

Have you tried crushing them up and snorting them?

What's the street value on those bad boys?

Thanks. Me too. 

wag, but my experience with CA glues indicate if excess is present it doesn't set and it seems to work better with pressure ....skin excepted

I  notice they have foam safe CA and a kicker additive to speed the set time, wonder if your problem is chemical incompatibility?
