We just got a new type of super glue in and while using it I spilled some on myself. I got a second degree burn. Has anyone with a temperature probe measured how hot the stuff gets while curing? Yes, with the activator. Zap glue was the brand. We were using Metra's before and never had a issue.Does one hold better do to the higher heat?
Just curious.

All "super glues" are nothing more than cyano-acrylates. They should all have the same specific heat during curing, and that means with cure accellerators as well.
I expect that you either a) just never got it on you before in the same amount, or b) something was different elsewhere.
Otherwise, I have never seen anything different in any types of CA curing, and I've used a few different versions. The accellerator works on all brands of "super glue", so I don't really believe there is anything different anywhere...
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

You sure it's not an epoxy?  I have never seen a "super glue" that got hot enough to damage skin.

When accellerated, they do get QUITE warm... I've never actually been BURNED by it/them, but it's quite a noticeable heat.
I suppose if there was enough of it in one spot... I guess there could be enough heat generated to cause an issue.

I use Zap and the Kicker accellerator at my shop all the time. It's been on my hands before with no burns, and although I have noticed that it was warm, I have never felt it get hot enough to do harm to skin or plastics.
