Is superglue conductive?

Well, not exactly cooling related, but I figured people here are familiar with thermal compounds and modding stuff, so someone could probably answer my question...

Is superglue conductive? I was being an idiot and superglued the 9 separate internal USB wires into a block for ease of connecting to the motherboard. It was a little messy, so I'm a bit concerned about actually using it, just in case something happens.

i believe superglue is cyano acrylic. So im assuming its not conductive.

When it is wet it might be, but once dry it isn't.

cyanoacrylate...no

Once it has finished bonding it is not conductive anymore.

Easy enough to test if you have a multimeter. If you don't you ought to get one. Harbor Freight sells cheapies for $4, $3 when they're on sale.

As other have stated, super-glue is not conductive once dry. There was an old trick on the Athlon chips to unlock the multipliers using superglue.

Nonconductive, so if you got it on the pins....
