FOAM-CURE™ is a silicone based adhesive that works very well on EPP and EPO foams. It is crystal clear and cures to a more flexible consistency than CA. It is, however, not instant bonding like CA and there is no accelerator to speed it’s curing. To obtain a faster initial bond when bonding two pieces, FOAM-CURE™ can be applied to one piece and after the two are joined, they can then be pulled apart. After letting it air dry for about ten minutes, FOAM-CURE™ will act like a contact cement when the parts are rejoined, resulting in enough tack strength to allow the next steps of assembly. Full strength is reached in 10-12 hours.
Super-Gold is a thin viscosity foam-safe cyanoacrylate glue that is (nearly) odorless, and does not frost nearby surfaces as it cures. Curing time is 2 or 3 seconds longer than traditional CA glues of similar viscosity, but the slower cure time and different formulation prevent the sudden heating that can damage foam surfaces as CA glue cures. You can use Insta-Set CA Glue Acclerator in a very fine mist to speed cure time, but do not apply too much accelerator, or you may damage foam surfaces.
Maxi-Cure™ extra thick CA is the best CA for most plastics, including GE’s Lexan MAXI-CURE™ is the best choice for plastic model assembly. 1/2 oz (14.2 g)
INSTA-SET™ is a catalyst which acts as an accelerator that allows CAs to quickly cure in thick layers by enhancing the alkaline conditions during polymerization. INSTA-SET™ in a spray bottle is normally used to cure the CA that flows from joints when parts are pressed together. Applying an additional bead of thick CA along a seam and then curing it with INSTA-SET™ significantly enhances a joint’s strength.
Super-Gold+ is a gap filling, medium viscosity foam-safe cyanoacrylate glue that is (nearly) odorless, and does not frost nearby surfaces as it cures. Curing time is 2 or 3 seconds longer than traditional CA glues of similar viscosity, but the slower cure time and different formulation prevent the sudden heating that can damage foam surfaces as CA glue cures. You can use Insta-Set CA Glue Acclerator in a very fine mist, but do not apply too much accelerator, or you may damage foam surfaces.
Insta-Cure+™ is a higher viscosity CA for loose fitting joints in which the adhesive must bridge gaps. Normally, the thicker CA is applied to one surface and then the parts are held tightly together for about 5 to 15 seconds. 1/2 oz (14.2 g)
MID-CURE™ 15 min. epoxy is used in larger areas where more working time is needed. It is more water resistant and can be used as a substitute for QUIK-CURE™ in most applications. MID-CURE™ is our most flexible epoxy and is ideal for gluing to fiberglass surfaces. Allow 45 minutes before handling parts and 2 hours for full strength.
