Product Description

Starbond Aerosol Accelerator is the CA glue accelerator engineered for professionals who use CA every day. Acetone-based and high-reactivity, it activates every CA formula thin, medium, thick, gel, and rubber-toughened in under one second, collapsing multi-minute cure windows to nothing and turning slow gap fills into instant, solid repairs.

Most generic super glue accelerators are afterthoughts: thin acetone in a can with a small, stiff button and an uneven spray pattern that either over-saturates surfaces or misses narrow cracks entirely. Starbond’s aerosol was engineered differently — with a large-button ergonomic actuator that sprays smoothly without finger fatigue, and a precision atomizer that delivers a focused core for accuracy and a soft outer mist for coverage. The result is a cyanoacrylate glue accelerator that performs like a professional tool, not an afterthought.

What Is Super Glue Made Of And Why Accelerator Makes It Instant

To understand why a CA glue accelerator works, it helps to understand what super glue is made of. Super glue cyanoacrylate adhesive is a monomer: a single-molecule compound that polymerizes (chains together) in the presence of moisture. The tiny amount of moisture on most surfaces, including skin, is enough to trigger this reaction and harden the adhesive.

The natural cure time of cyanoacrylate ranges from 3 seconds (ultra-thin CA) to 20–25 seconds (thick CA) depending on viscosity, temperature, and substrate moisture content. A super glue accelerator works by introducing a chemical activator in Starbond’s case, an acetone-based compound — that dramatically increases the availability of reaction sites on the surface, triggering near-instant polymerization regardless of ambient humidity.

This is why cyanoacrylate glue accelerator is most valuable on dry, low-humidity surfaces and thick CA applications: conditions where the natural moisture-triggered cure is slow. Apply the accelerator first to the surface, apply CA to the mating surface, press together or apply CA first and spray accelerator over the bond line. Either method delivers near-instant cure.

A very old piece of spalted maple, cleaned, punky wood removed, and large voids filled with starboard glue. The accelerator was essential in completion of entry into a juried art exhibit. First item sold.

I use ca glue to finish my wood pens and pencils. I tried Starbond several years ago on the recommendation of a friend and have been using it exclusively ever since. I get a durable finish that polishes out to an incredible shine and so far hasn’t cracked or chipped in 5 years on my every day carry pen.

Starbond Accelerator Is a must for my business. Many of the model bridges I build for O gauge railroading contain hundreds of small pieces. Thanks to Starbond products, projects what would normally take several days to build can be completed in one day. Thank you so much Srarbond!

Ive been using Star Bond for a couple of years now , without a doubt it’s the best ca glue i have ever used . I have used others and other accelerators and i have to say , it’s still the best . Sometimes the other accelerators make the glue turn white , and it doesn’t set right quickly, with Star Bond Ca medium dark , coupled with their accelerator i can fill a quarter sized knot that goes all the way thru a hunk of walnut in 20 minutes sanded . You will only get that though if you follow instructions on how to fill a deep hole . They ate always posting updates and how to’s to better use their products , they have sales and coupons and customer service is always nice . If you work with wood , and you need to bond it together tight and right Star bond is great stuff . Jus FYI , it bonds all kinds of other stuff too , you should prolly get some clear for your girl , jus saying

The accelerator is a hand in hand product to go with Starbonds’s CA glue, the accelerator is used on a daily basis in my shop from a crack repair to holding down products on the CNC bed. I purchased this and the largest cans possible because the amount I use during a week.

Amazing. It works FAST. Like- right F@&$!ing NOW glue cure.
This glue is CA glue “Crazy A$$” glue! I’ve stuck it all together - including myself to my projects several times. Be careful and follow the glove instructions.

It works great. I’m impressed with the aerosol accelerator. It made my project go a lot faster. I was feeling in some small holes and cracks. I put some sawdust in the holes and then put some medium black CA glue on it. I slowly built it up

Our company, Impact Imports in Boise, Idaho, is a big proponent of Starbond products. The accelerator simply helps us build custom furniture faster!

I am a semi-professional wood turner and woodworker, and I use Starbond products because they are fast and reliable.

Great product, I use it everyday with my wood working projects. In this picture I used it to secure a mock up of a drawer I'm making. It's so handy and easy to use.

Starbond's Aerosol Accelerator is the perfect compliment for fast setting of any of their great CA glues.
I use it a LOT with the medium viscosity CA for repairing chips from handling or routing during the finishing stages of woodworking projects because the FAST, strong set I get helps keep the project moving forward and excellent results.
