|The surface properties
of some materials, such as being acidic or having very low moisture
content, slow down the curing of cyanoacrylates. CA accelerator is
formulated to harden CA in ten seconds or less. Accelerator allows
large gaps to be filled in loose fitting joints and cures the excess
CA that sometimes oozes out of joints so that objects can be handled
within seconds without the worry of sticking ones fingers to
the parts. Accelerator makes the repair of household items much easier.
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 joints 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 formulated with a strawberry scent and activates
CA in 6 to 8 seconds without any degrading of the CAs strength, which
can occur with many other accelerators. It is compatible with all
surfaces, even clear plastic and white foam.
will soften cured CA. If parts are bonded incorrectly or your fingers
are stuck together, a few drops of UN-CURE will dissolve the
CA in about a minute. Apply on bonded skin and roll apart fingers.
Once stuck, use acetone to clean off softened CA, then wash off with soap and water. Since cured CA is essentially acrylic plastic, anything that will dissolve CA will also soften most plastics. Care must be used, therefore, when using Un-Cure on plastics. Separating plastics parts with a razor saw is usually the best option.
