Product Description

Starbond Flexible Medium-Thick Clear CA is the strongest glue for plastic, metal, and multi-material repairs that standard superglues can’t handle. Most CA adhesives cure rigid — they bond fast, then crack under the first flex, vibration, or impact. This flexible-toughened formula bends under load rather than fracturing, creating durable bonds on exactly the surfaces where rigid CA fails most.

At medium-thick viscosity, it bridges surface irregularities, fills micro-gaps between dissimilar materials, and gives you a full 20–30 seconds to align and position before locking in. As the best adhesive for plastic, it handles ABS, PVC, and polycarbonate without hazing. As a reliable glue for metal, it survives the thermal expansion that snaps rigid bonds. As the best adhesive for plastic to wood, the medium-thick viscosity wicks into wood grain while bonding the plastic face — dual-surface adhesion in one product.

Best Adhesive for Plastic to Wood

Finding the best adhesive for plastic to wood is one of the harder bonding problems: wood is porous and absorbs adhesive, plastic is non-porous and rejects it. Standard glues bridge one surface but not the other. Starbond Flexible Medium-Thick Clear CA is the best adhesive for sticking plastic to wood because its medium-thick viscosity wicks into wood grain for mechanical purchase while bonding the plastic face simultaneously. The flexible cure prevents delamination as wood moves seasonally.

Common plastic-to-wood applications: bonding plastic hardware and handles to wood furniture, attaching PVC trim and edging to wood substrates, securing mounting brackets and standoffs, and reinforcing plastic-to-wood joints on tools and sporting equipment.

Medium thick clear CA glue is a winner!

This stuff is great for building wooden models. I use it along with the activator for a strong, instant bond. Love it!

Starbond High Performance Glue, Simply The Best

I have been using Starbond Glue for a while, it has held up with no issues from any of my customers. I make custom chef, fishing and leather crafting knives. Which places a lot of stress on the materials, so you need that great bond. When you order, it is packaged nicely with fast shipping. When you're making that purchase straight from the company you're skipping the middle man.

Amazing!

I picked this up for my split sections that I make for knife handles and it is incredibly awesome. It has a long enough open time to coat the scales evenly and then press your pieces together with minimal mess. It really helps streamline the whole process. Within 15 minutes you can prep the scales for liners. I did a toughness test on it and needless to say it passed my expectations with ebony wood being ripped off with the piece I removed which took 4 razor blades and a hammer to do I might add. It handles heat extremely well while grinding down silver nickel spacers glued to g-10. It has 4X the impact resistance of regular super glue so it’s tough as nails as well. I’ll never use epoxy for splits again

I’m a HUGE Starbond fan. I use it everywhere/everyday in my shop. Great product, great service. Only one suggestion- put your web ordering address on your “we’ve all been here stickers”. I give those away to my friends who have shops. It is SO easy to look at my text tips from you guys and get an idea and order what I need. I allow NO other text alerts from ANY other company or person but Starbond. Usually I keep my Starbond backup supply in my freezer and I find that I am out when I thought I had some going to the freezer; no problem- I just go to my text and find the last Starbond text- click-order-it’s here. If only everything worked this well.
Highest Regards, AB

We use this CA for assembling our products. It is the only adhesive that I’ve tested that sticks permanently and stays slightly flexible when cured. The only downside for us is that they only sell the 16oz as kits, so we end up with extra bottles and tips going in the trash every month since we use a dispensing system.

Best glue ever. Especially for wood inlay!!

Used this new glue to join 2 pieces of a large dinosaur bone (47”, 155 lbs). I was worried about the pressure on the joint with most of the weight being on either end. Seems to have held up very nicely!

These adhesives now have a permanent spot on my shelf. I'll be replacing all of my other brand adhesives promptly.

Hey Gavin, thank you for choosing Starbond. We are truly happy to hear that you find great value in using our products, and we promise to continue giving you nothing but the very best!

I received a recommendation from Starbond customer support, that this was the recommended product to use to fill a knot in the treated lumber used on my front porch. It performed exceptionally well, sealing the knot, and it looks 100% better than before. Highly recommend this product.

Great for glass inserts

It allows the glass tea light inserts in a turned birch holder to expand and contract without brfeaking the bond.

Love this product. Use it to add a rubber edging to the sling of a person lift. The sling in very rough on the edges. This glue works much better than any I have tried.

Arrow inserts

I used this glue to cement arrow inserts into the arrow shafts. Since I haven’t had chance to test it out on the range. I purchased this CA glue just for its high impact shock survivability. Looking forward to see how it performs compared to other insert glues.

Been using Starbond since the 90’s. It always works. The newer glues just get better and better. The medium thick is one tough glue with flexibility. I buy the 16 ounce bottles with some great extras in the kit. I do keep the big bottle in the freezer and when it’s empty I wash it out with acetone to repurpose it to dispense other fluids. Tough durable bottle with stopper.
