Q: What's medium CA glue best used for?
It's suited to household repairs, hobby modelling and gluing loose-fitting joints, since its medium viscosity fills small gaps without running everywhere.
56Z8622 - Starbond Medium CA Glue, 2 oz
This is an excellent general-purpose instant adhesive for applications such as small household repairs, hobby modelling, filling small gaps and stabilizing loose-fitting joints. It also works well as a clear turning finish for pen-making and other small projects.
With a medium viscosity of 150 cPs, it has the consistency of motor oil, penetrating cracks and gaps up to 0.006" wide and bonding in 10 to 20 seconds. Curing time is longer when filling voids than when the glue is used as an adhesive due to the increased volume of glue applied to a void. For filling voids, building layers of glue alternating with accelerator is recommended to ensure full curing.
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.
It's suited to household repairs, hobby modelling and gluing loose-fitting joints, since its medium viscosity fills small gaps without running everywhere.
It bonds in 10 to 20 seconds under normal conditions, though a filled void takes longer to cure fully than a simple two-surface bond.
Yes, but building up several thin layers of Starbond glue with accelerator applied between coats helps the buildup cure fully instead of skinning over on top.
Yes, it cures clear and holds up well as a topcoat on pen blanks and similarly small turned pieces.
