Plastic Adhesives
MAXI CURE Thick, 10-25 second Cyanoacrylate Adhesive (CA), best choice for most plastic and model assemblies. When used with INSTA SET it will fill most voids. It can be carved with a knife or blade and sanded to form a finish indistinguishable from plastic. Its thickness makes it easier to work with for a majority of applications. Available in 1/2oz & 1oz Bottles
SUPER GOLD CA Adhesive with no odor, which is non-frosting and takes only 2-3 seconds longer to bond. Super Gold is 100% foam safe and therefore can be used in the building of foam core wings and the assembly and repair of plastic foam ARF's. It will not fog clear parts. Super Gold is great for attaching clear parts in models, although MAXI CURE is still recommended for all model assembly. Wood can be bonded to white foam in less than 15 seconds. When bonding foam to foam, spray a very light fog to one piece and apply Super Gold to the other before joining. Excessive INSTA-SET may create too much heat, which can melt foam. Super Gold has a more flexible consistency for better shock absorption. Available in 1/2oz Bottles.
INSTA-SET A catalyst that allows CA's to quickly cure in thick layers by enhancing the alkaline conditions during polymerization. Applying an additional bead of MAXI CURE along the seam and then curing it with Insta-Set significantly enhances a joint's strength. For difficult to bond materials, Insta-Set can be applied to one surface and CA to the opposite surface. When brought together, they will bond instantly. INSTA-SET is 100% foam safe and can be used on clear plastics. Available in 2oz Bottles.
5 & 15 MINUTE EPOXY CLEAR 50/50 mix ratio epoxy which sets in 5/15 minutes and can be handled 15/45 minutes. For full bond strength wait 1 or 3 hours. This material is compatible with most surfaces and can be sanded to finish. Available in 4.5oz & 9oz kits.
