Optimized for Speed, Precision, and a Mess-Free Application. Starbond® "Super Fast" Thin is an ultra-fast drying (2-5 seconds), water-thin super glue that delivers strong, lasting bonds. Also called "thin ca glue", this versatile adhesive can be used in a variety of ways. At just 2-3 cps viscosity, this adhesive is thinner than most competitors, making it perfect for wicking into tight spaces and hairline fractures through capillary action. For stabilizing applications, it quickly soaks into and reinforces porous objects like wood, fossils, and precious stones. In woodturning and lapidary, it can be used to achieve a brilliant glass-like, UV-protective "CA finish". It’s also perfect for wood inlay applications as it easily wicks through inlay powders, and crushed stones and acts as a secure stabilizer.Oldschool balsa airplane building hobbyists love this glue because of its lightning speed, as it wicks into and bonds wood joints in just seconds!Using the Starbond® precision tips, the thin glue can effectively bond semi-porous and non-porous surfaces with pinpoint accuracy while preventing a mess.A small drop on white birch or balsa wood dries in just 3-5 seconds. On high surface energy plastics (like ones used in 3D printing) such as PLA, PETG, ABS, and TPU, the thin superglue can bond lightning fast (1-2 seconds). CA Finishing Tip: Apply several coats, then sand and buff to a perfect shine. Stabilizing Tip: To prevent the glue from soaking too much, spray Starbond® Super Glue Accelerator before applying the thin glue. Used For: Beautiful CA finish for woodturning Repair cracks, voids, and knots in wood effortlessly. Inlay powdered metals, pigments, and crushed gemstones. Guitar Repairs: Stabilize guitar frets for secure, lasting performance. Seamlessly glue and repair inlays on the headstock, body, and fretboard. Install bindings and purflings on string instruments with precision. Fossil & Lapidary Work: Safely infiltrate and stabilize fossils before extraction. Repair small cracks in stone, quartz, and ceramics. Ideal for inlays using metal and turquoise in jewelry or crafts.
