See you in November!

This is a half ounce bottle of Bob Smith Industries Gap-fill INSTA-CURE™ CA Glue. Gap-fill is the medium-viscosity version of these glues and is a good compromise if you want to give yourself a few seconds to adjust the positioning of parts. Surfaces to be bonded must be tight fitting and should be held together for a few minutes after the glue is applied.

Although CA glue works well, they do give off a vapor that can irritate the nose and eyes, and these fumes can trigger a significant allergic reaction, whose symptoms mimic those of a bad cold or flue. Please read through my page on glue. I no longer use CA glue, preferring two-part epoxy instead. However, if you have a well-ventilated area, CA works very well.

CA glues work very well on balsa since they penetrate into the wood and form more than just a surface bond. In fact, CA glue works better when the wood is not completely dry so it is a good glue to use when planking a model ship.

Please note that my website has a flat shipping rate and so it would be advised to buy more than one item at a time.

Sorry, but I am just not equipped to sell small items one-by-one.
