The article changes with the case; it is shown in colour.
'Sekundenkleber' (superglue) is made up of 'Sekunden' (seconds) and 'Kleber' (glue). The first part refers to the short time the glue needs to set; it is not meant as an exact indication of time.
Der Sekundenkleber hält die beiden Teile schon nach kurzer Zeit fest zusammen.
The superglue holds the two parts firmly together after just a short time.
When you state which substance you use for gluing, 'mit Sekundenkleber' (with superglue) is a typical pattern. 'Mit' is followed by the dative; without further specification, 'Sekundenkleber' is often used without an article.
Ich habe die kleine Figur mit Sekundenkleber repariert.
I repaired the small figurine with superglue.
'Sekundenkleber auftragen' (to apply superglue) and 'Sekundenkleber dosieren' (to control the amount of superglue) are typical collocations for describing its use. They go with adverbs such as 'dünn' (thinly), 'sparsam' (sparingly), or 'punktuell' (in small spots).
Trage den Sekundenkleber sparsam auf die Bruchstelle auf.
Apply the superglue sparingly to the break.
