New glue!

It's based on the physics of gecko's feet. See this interesting article for the scoop. Seems to me that it would be plenty strong enough for a bridge.

that stuff is nuts! not sure id want a guitar bridge that could be removed with a "gentle tug"...either way, thats impressive stuff. how can it hold up 700lbs but release with a "gentle tug"? Mind...blown!

It doesn't sound like glue. More like microscopic velcro.

Previous efforts to synthesize the tremendous adhesive power of gecko feet and pads were based on the qualities of microscopic hairs on their toes called setae, but efforts to translate them to larger scales were unsuccessful, in part because the complexity of the entire gecko foot was not taken into account. As Irschick explains, a gecko's foot has several interacting elements, including tendons, bones and skin, that work together to produce easily reversible adhesion.

"Importantly, the Geckskin's adhesive pad uses simple everyday materials such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), which holds promise for developing an inexpensive, strong and durable dry adhesive."

Silicone!

I'll stay with HHG. It works and transmits vibrations. Don't think sillycone will, and that stuff would be a horror for finishing.
Not much for newfangled products. Took me 10 years to try cyano...

Ah, yes. That would be a dealbreaker.

Still, it will be very interesting to see how this research translates into usable glues.

Wow. Absolutely amazing. Nature again provides the answer.

I want gloves and socks!

I've always loved geckos!

You could attach the bridge to a gecko then... perhaps not!
