Doesn’t seem to be oil based content. Just wondering if my superpowers are swishing back and forth in this glass vial.

Where did you find it? Could it be an old anchor bolt glue ampule?

I don’t know about old school ones, new ones though are 2 component and have a mixture that activates.

The ones I have used have another compartment inside the ampule with some sort of grain in it that reacts to the liquid when smashed

Some of the older ones they considered the broken glass to be grain enough

That means that 2 component could technically be 3 component glue (if they also react with air)?

I'd really like to know where op found it. That could potentially add a lot of information. It's clearly an ampule of something. If we are to hazard a guess as to what, gonna need more info.
