Talk:Harry Coover

Article says it was used during "both world wars" as a tissue adhesive before Harry Coover started researching it in 1942. That doesn't make a bit of sense. We only entered WW2 on Dec 8th, 1941. And I think it's safe to say that it may have been known, but was not being actively used in any way in 1917/18. I would appreciate it if someone with a bit more knowledge could research this and clarify that sentence. Seems entirely incorrect to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimindc (talk • contribs) 13:41, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Good to see Wikipedia has an article on this man. It was mentioned on Radio Four this week or last week that Harry Coover had died, but the presenter added that most people (at least, in Great Britain) probably do not know who he was - until the presenter explained that he invented superglue. So, keep up the good work Wikipedians, in showing a wide spread of knowledge! ACEOREVIVED (talk) 10:28, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

I think it was on the PM programme. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 10:29, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Early in its history, "Eastman 910" was the product name for the cyanoacrylate glue, Eastman was not selling it under the name "superglue". It was used industrially, and not marketed to consumers (I'm guessing that Eastman considered it too dangerous for general public use.) Later, other companies used the names "Crazy Glue" and superglue to market the glue to the general public.
