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.
