Can you make superglue from home based chemicals?

As he said, you can make a glue-like substance from water and flour.  

Actual superglue production requires things like toluene and cyanoacrylate... nasty stuff that you don't want in your house in large quantities.  

Trust me, I'm on medical leave from the lab for a couple weeks for toluene exposure.  It's not fun.
