Cyanoacrylate (CA)

Cyanoacrylate Adhesives (CA)
INSTA-CURE
This water-thin viscosity CA wicks deep into joints by capillary action and cures in a matter of a few seconds. Surfaces to be bonded must be tight fitting and should be held together while you apply the CA around the edges of the seam. Thin CAs work very well on balsa since they penetrate into the wood and form more than just a surface bond.
INSTA-CURE+
This is a higher viscosity CA for loose fitting joints in which the adhesive must bridge gaps. Normally, the thicker CA is applied to one surface and then the parts are held tightly together for about 5 to 15 seconds. For large surface areas, including those with close fitting joints such as laminations, INSTA-CURE+ ™ should also be used.
MAXI-CURE
This extra thick CA is the best CA for most plastics, including GE’s Lexan MAXI-CURE™ is the best choice for plastic model assembly. When used with INSTA-SET™, it works better than any putty for modifying or filling voids. MAXI-CURE™ bonds fiberglass, hardwood, metal and rubber better than any other hobby adhesive.
SUPER-GOLD+
This is the odorless INSTA-CURE CA. It is non-frosting and takes only 2 or 3 seconds longer to bond. There are no fumes that irritate the nose and eyes. It does not attack white foam and will not fog clear plastic.
PLASTIC-CURE
This is a gap-filling formulation of CA that works best on plastics. It is packaged in a bottle with a brush built into its top, which in many cases is an easier way to apply the CA. As long as brush is put back into the bottle after use, the bristles of the brush will not harden. Care must be taken, however, not to introduce foreign material into the bottle.
INSTA-SET
Catalyst formulated with a strawberry scent and activates CA in 6 to 8 seconds without any degrading of the CAs strength, which can occur with many other accelerators. It is compatible with all surfaces, even clear plastic and white foam.
UN-CURE
Debonder that will soften cured CA. If parts are bonded incorrectly or your fingers are stuck together, a few drops of UN-CURE™ will dissolve the CA in about a minute. Apply on bonded skin and roll apart fingers. Once stuck, use acetone to clean off softened CA, then wash off with soap and water.
