A silver 50 ml tube with a long white needle nozzle, printed B-7000 in a black panel. Down the left edge of that panel, where the B-6000 tube carries a maker's name instead, this one prints Multi-purpose adhesives — the only wording that separates the two tubes at a glance.

That phrase is worth taking at face value rather than as a slogan. This is the tube people reach for when the job is not one specific thing: a bead that has come off a sandal, a loose knob on a drawer, a phone cover cracked at the corner, a school model that has to hold together until Monday. It is the general one of the family.

Like the rest of the B-series it stays slightly rubbery when cured. That matters more than glue strength on the sort of thing this is used for, because most household repairs fail at the moment the joint bends, and a bond with a little give in it survives that where a hard, brittle one splits.

The needle nozzle is what makes it usable on small work. A dot the width of a rhinestone can be placed exactly where it is wanted with no spread onto the surrounding fabric or plastic, which is why this tube ends up in the hands of people doing stone work far more often than people doing carpentry.

One thing on the tube does not add up and we would rather say so: the foot reads 2.1 fl.oz (50ML), and those two figures do not match each other. Fifty millilitres is what the metric mark and the whole B-series both say, so 50 ml is what this page states and the fluid-ounce figure is left alone.

It is a solvent adhesive with a strong smell, not a children's glue. Use it with a window open, keep it off skin, cap it the moment you finish, and keep it out of reach of small children.
