Super Glue

When you want to bond two surfaces together quickly and efficiently there’s nothing much that beats a cyanoacrylate super glue.

Chestnut Products’ CA Superglues come in three viscosities:

1. Thin – very low viscosity for capillary action when you want the glue to penetrate deep into small cracks. Can also be used to post-assembly to wick into parts.
2. Ideal for use when joining very close-fitting parts and smooth, even surfaces. Dries in seconds.
3. Medium – for general purpose use, stays where you put it! Takes up to 20 seconds to dry giving you enough time to line everything up. Good for fairly smooth surfaces.
4. Thick – for gap filling where you want to seal a crack in your timber, mixed with sawdust if you want.
5. Slower drying, up to 60 seconds when applied thickly.

If you need a faster drying time use Accelerator for Superglues which can reduce the drying time to less than 2 seconds. Use the accelerator sparingly to avoid a white bloom on the surface.

A full cure – and maximum strength – requires 24 hours.

Low temperatures can reduce the cure time.

To get the longest life out of your glue, keep away from warmth – they are best stored at +5 degrees C.
