If you regularly practice the subject in the real world, ie glue stuff to other stuff, you should quickly notice whether your expertise is real?

Thats the hope alright. So far so good on that front. Haven't had anything fall off that wasn't meant to just yet!

but there is a whole world out there of glues that I havent got to work with yet, so expert still seems a bit rich to lay claim to.

Imposter syndrome is real. But I think at some point we have to drop our false modesty and admit that we are the authorities on some things, even if our knowledge is still painfully limited.
