CYANOACRYLATES

     MAXI-CURE 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.  It can be carved with a knife or razor blade and sanded and feathered to form a finish in-distinguishable from plastic.

MAXI-CURE bonds fiberglass, hardwood, metal and rubber better than any other hobby adhesive.  For gluing to the inside, cloth textured surface of fiberglass, scrape the area to be bonded with a razorblade or coarse sandpaper before using MAXI-CURE or any other adhesive. It also is best for bonding the tires for R/C cars.

     SUPER-GOLD and SUPER-GOLD+ are our new odorless INSTA-CURE CA's They are non-frosting and take only 2 or 3 seconds longer to bond. There are no fumes that irritate the nose and eyes.  The SUPER-GOLD's do not attack white foam; therefore, they can be used in the building of foam core wings and the assembly and repair of plastic and foam ARF's. They will not fog clear plastic.  SUPER-GOLD+ is ideal for attaching clear canopies in plastic model kits; however, MAXI-CURE      TM is still recommended for assembling the rest of plastic kits. Wood can be bonded to white foam with SUPER-GOLD + in less than fifteen seconds. For bonding foam to foam, spray a light fog of INSTA-SET to one piece and apply SUPER-GOLD +'m to the other before joining.

    Both SUPER-GOLD's cure to a more flexible consistency for better shock absorption. Whenever a large amount of CA is to be used in such applications as saturating fiberglass, graphite, or Kevlar, SUPER-GOLD eliminates the irritating fumes that make repeated use of CA unpleasant at times.

    UN-CURE debonder will soften cured CA. If parts are bonded in-correctly or your fingers are stuck together, a few drops of UN-CURE-will dissolve the CA in about a minute. If CA gets on any clothing, use UN-CURE as a pre-soak before washing. Usually the fabric will come out as good as new, although colors may be affected.

    With all CA's, the closer the parts fit together, the stronger the bond.  Always hold the bonding surfaces together as tightly as possible. Any rough spots on the mating surfaces should be smoothed out.  Although CA's will hold objects together with considerable strength within seconds, the full strength of the bond is not reached for several hours. Allow for this before subjecting parts to maximum stress. Also, CA's are generally a little less brittle and have higher strength when they are allowed to cure on their own.

      Heat and moisture will decrease the shelf life of CA's. Unopen bottles can be stored in a freezer or refrigerator, but allow them to reach room temperature before using. Keep your bottles in a cool place that won't be exposed to direct sunlight and store away from bottles of accelerators. Due to the freshness of our CA's, their shelf life is guaranteed for 24 months.

     For the initial opening of the top, loosen top first to relieve pressure, hold the bottle against a near vertical surface and cut off the top 1/321,with a knife or razor blade without squeezing the bottle. To prevent clogging, do not let the tip of the nozzle touch a surface that has been sprayed with INSTA-SET'". Before replacing the colored cap, sit the bottle down hard to knock the remaining CA back into the bottle before squeezing it in an upright position to blow air through the nozzle, then wipe the tip clean.

    Our CA's come in 1/2 oz., 1 oz. and 2 oz sizes, along with an 8 oz. that has a no mess, easy pour bottle for economical refilling of our regular bottles. In addition to our line of replacement tops and fine extender tips which allow very small, controlled amounts of CA to be applied, we have added CA applicators that come in both a regular and fine tip. They are like a disposable eye-dropper that greatly resists clogging. Just squeeze the bulb and insert into an open CA bottle to draw out the amount you need.
