HINTS AND TIPS

 • INSTA-CURE- works very well with 3/4 oz. to 6 oz. fiberglass cloth for reinforcing joints. Lay the cloth on the surface and apply drops of the thin CA until capillary action saturates the fiberglass.

 • INSTA-CURE+ is the quickest way to repair bicycle inner tubes. Locate the puncture by immersing the inflated tube in water, mark it with a pen or pencil, and then deflate and dry off the tube. Pinch the rubber to open up the puncture, then put a very small drop of gap-filling CA on the hole. Release the tube to return it to its nor-mal shape and then spray the drop with INSTA-SET. Any drop larger than 1/8" doesn't improve the seal and with use will crack as the rubber flexes. Re-inflate the tube and double check for holes you may have missed.

 •Hobby paints that are alcohol based (acrylic) can be used to add color to epoxies with little effect on the epoxy's characteristics.

 •Saturate the end of rope or string with thin CA to prevent it from becoming frayed.

 • Cured CA is actually acrylic plastic. Thick CA with an accelerator can be used to quickly build-up layers to replace or modify plastic parts. Unfortunately, neither CA nor epoxy works well on most polyethylene or polypropylene, i.e., the flexible, waxy plastics.

 • QUIK-CURE epoxy is the best choice for bonding clear plastics. It will not fog the plastic and if the epoxy gets on the wrong spot, it can be carefully removed with a razor blade without leaving a mark.

 • Small bits and shavings of plastics can be mixed with INSTA-CURE+ to repair nicks and other damage to large plastic parts. Once cured, it can be sanded smooth to create a surface in-distinguishable from the main part. This technique is used for the repair of vinyl automotive bumpers and allows the recycling of existing parts.

• QUIK-CURE , like all other fast setting epoxies, is not resistant to long term exposure of raw model aircraft fuel. It can be used to tack glue firewalls into place but should be coated over with SLOW-CURE  Tm 30 MINUTE EPOXY for permanent installation.

 • The flexibility of SUPER-GOLD+ makes it ideal for gluing on rubber caps to foam rubber R/C road race tires.

 • UN-CURE works great on stuck fingers. Apply on bonded skin and roll apart fingers. Once unstuck, use acetone to clean off softened CA, then wash off with soap and water.
