Gorilla Glue

Oh, sorry, I didn't realize you were back to the water question. The answer is, yes, you could refill those cartridges with water. They hold around 3 cc. You'd need to adapt the thingies that transfer insulin to the cartridge, but that would be pretty easy. Those things are used once and tossed in the original application but they probably would last for a while if you weren't concerned about sanitation.

The pump contains a single AAA battery and a tiny stepper motor, which drives a plastic screw that pushes on the end of a plunger, like a large syringe plunger. That feeds a small-bore flexible plastic hose, 24" long, typically, which can be cut off to make a "nozzle."

Hmmm, what have I got around here that makes really tiny droplets? I thought I had something over on the back corner of this desk, but I can't see back there right now 'cause there's this big Inkjet printer in the way.

Hmmm, ... . No clue, sorry. ;-)

What about the dang foam? Forget microdrops, I threw that in just in. Darn, I wish I hadn't. (laughs)

Assuming Gorilla Glue is cheap (but it isn't unless you buy a lot) and time spent meauring water is not (but it is cheap when you're working for yourself), how can I match Gorilla Glue to:

metal, wood, plastic, glass, paper, fabric, or stone?

My seven favorite materials. One per day of the week!

Or does Gorilla Glue become useless when mixed with any more water than a moist surface delivers? In that case, what mixes with water to make foam?

We could take another tack, also...

Put glue in plastic cup. Put in microwave on top of wet facecloth. Zap for time x in seconds. Leave in there for time y seconds. Remove glue perfectly dosed, with humidity this time, and wait time z minutes. x, y, z, make foam to match the use!

Hey Doug,

You have not given us any clue as to what you are trying to do, but have you considered "micro-balloons" available for West System epoxies, available at many places, but for sure at any marine store. They would do what is sounds like you want.

See: and

Take care.

ps...you might try asking for just a 1/2 cupful at any marine hull repair place, just to try a bit.
