Homemade super glue is interesting because it’s already inexpensive to buy, but this DIY by MrScrew TV on YouTube shows how to make it with only 2 products. However, if you happen to run out of super glue and have an emergency, you can make strong glue at home with items that you may already have laying around at home. I rather make my own super glue because my super glue runs out quickly. I’m not sure if this glue will dry out or if you can store it. Plus, there’s always styrofoam and acetone around my house so I can make a small batch if needed. Also, buying super glue can add up over time, and you can use this glue or a lot of craft projects. You might be able to substitute this with regular glue too.
Supplies:
- styrofoam
- acetone
Directions:
First, break off styrofoam into small pieces. Place them in a container.

Next, pour acetone into the styrofoam. Take something flat and stir the mixture around. Break down any chunks of the styrofoam pieces, and make sure the pieces are dissolved within the acetone. Then, it’s ready to use. Apply the glue on wood, cardboard, fabric, and anything.
Overall, I’m interested in how strong this glue is, and I never thought about the combination of styrofoam and acetone. This is a great life hack that will be useful for many reasons. This DIY recycles items and making them reusable. I wonder what the smell would be like because I hate the strong smell from acetone already. It’s crazy how this tutorial said acetone or gasoline, but the gasoline would not be a safe idea to use. I know this hack will come in handy one day I need superglue.
