Has anybody noticed that Super Glue (cyanoacrylate clear liquid glue) just
doesn't seem to work any more? I remember when it first came out that it
used to bond anything and everything. Lately, seems that I can't even fix my
son's toys with it any more.

Latest failu Just tried to glue a small 12V DC fan for a PA with it and
the bond came apart the next day pretty much by itself.

FWIW: Super glue should only be used for temporary fixes. Even though
it may be strong enough when first applied, it gets brittle after
about a year and loses much of its strength.
