Q: What is CA glue?
CA glue is cyanoacrylate, a fast-curing adhesive that sets within seconds without clamping. It's commonly used in woodworking for finishing, gap-filling and quick repairs.
56Z8602 - Starbond Thin CA Glue, 2 oz
This water-thin cyanoacrylate adhesive stands out for its ability to flow into tight spaces, wicking into tiny cracks, filling small voids and stabilizing punky or spalted wood or other porous materials. It also works well as a clear turning finish for small projects such as pens or knife handles, and lets you quickly repair hairline fractures that appear in the material during turning without delaying the work.
With a low viscosity of 2 to 3 cPs, it penetrates cracks as narrow as 0.002" wide and bonds in less than 5 seconds. With the application of an accelerator, bonding is nearly instant.
The glue comes with two applicator caps, a clog-resistant stopper, and eight precision microtips that fit over the dispensing nozzle to permit extremely accurate glue application. The microtips can be cut to a desired opening width and are good for more than one application if soaked in acetone immediately after use.

No, thin ca glue bonds on its own in less than 5 seconds. An accelerator only speeds curing further and is most useful when a joint can't be clamped or a void is being built up in layers.
Yes, its low viscosity lets it wick into porous or partly decayed wood, filling voids and firming up the fibers before turning or finishing.
Yes, it cures to a clear, durable coating that works well as a topcoat on pen blanks and other small turned pieces.
