Seriously, in all the time he was broke as shit, he didn't ever think "I invented an adhesive that's more powerful than superglue, it's time to pay the rent."

That's not being irresponsible or anything, and in fact, it's being MORE responsible. He has had the power to make office products better for everyone!

It's a wonder no one has ever brought this question up over the past 40 or so years.

In fact, I'm astounded there's nothing to be found on the subject anywhere.

More or less. He cashed in on everything made non-leathal stuff for police. He was kind of like George Foreman or something. :)

I have always wondered why he didn't do something to get paid. I know he has a responsibility to save everyone, but sometimes you just have to go to work.

Well originally it was because it dissolved in 30 minutes.

He tried. It dissolved.

Yeah, I mean, there's a world to save, but you don't have to do it barely making ends meet. Although, I guess with his super hero schedule, it may be hard to keep a steady job. :)

He tried waaay back. Stan and Steve era, if I'm not wrong. He brought it to a company to try and getting money to pay for Aunt May's pap smear or something and the "scientist" was astounded until the webbing weakened and the thing he had attached to the ceiling fell to the ground.

I wasn't about to assume I was the only one to think of it, but never saw a discussion of it, personally. I should probably make better use of the "search" feature...

That scientist was a short-sighted fool. It could have been tweaked to stay strong longer. :)

In a world of Reed Richards, Tony Stark, etc., one high school kid inventing a sticky goo isn't that big a deal.

I would think it would be very useful in construction. Use that shit to hold something up temp and weld/re-enforce around it. Since it disolves, everything is fine and dandy. It would be real good for a retaining wall or something.

It was a turning point in my life.

I am sure you could market sticky goo better than some fancy do-hicky! :-x
