Grab adhesive tests 2017

In this video I have tested out several grab adhesives, many of which have been recommended by viewers on YouTube. I have done three tests, firstly stainless steel to stainless steel, secondly a grab test to see how well the adhesives can grab (this was originally copied from the Maximum torque video, which portrayed some grab adhesives as being poor, when they were actually good). I then tested out some hardwood blocks which were stuck to the stainless steel, unfortunately the hydraulic ram seals are now passing and so if I perform more tests I will have to repair, or buy a new ram. I hope people appreciate the amount of work that has gone into this video ;-)

The full results of all tests are-

Adiseal £7.86 Maximum pressure stainless to stainless 245 PSI
Maximum pressure hard wood to stainless 3000+ PSI

Initial grab test, only three adhesives worked but the best was definitely Supabond-
