It's amazing the things that can be achieved with adhesives. Take for instance 3M Scotchweld Cyanoacrylate Adhesive, this glue holds the world record for lifting a forklift truck that weighs a whopping 8.1 metric tons!! 

In order to break this Guinness World Record, a 2 part steel cylinder, is glued together using 3M Scotchweld Instant Adhesive, it is left to set for 4 hours before the team attach the cylinders to the forklift truck and begin the lift, when the required height of 1 metre is reached, the clock begins and when the hour mark is reached a new World Record is set.

How amazing is this; and you don't have to take our word for it, have a look at the Youtube clip below to see for yourselves:
