"Multi-Purpose" Medium Super Glue

Optimized for Speed, Precision Crafting, and Easy Bonding.

Starbond® "Multi-Purpose" is a fast drying (15-20 seconds), very user-friendly superglue that delivers strong, lasting bonds. The drying time is perfectly balanced—dries quick enough to avoid downtime but slow enough for precise adjustments.

At 150 cps viscosity, it’s not too runny or too slow. This "medium ca glue", is a must-have for quick repairs, strong bonding, and easy crafting. It can be used to bond chipped wood, glue broken plastic on a motorcycle helmet, secure the sole of our shoes, and even glue vinyl flooring to cement. It’s our trusty Swiss Army knife–but this glue goes beyond simple all-around bonding:



In woodturning and lapidary, it can be used to achieve a brilliant glass-like, UV-protective "CA finish". Woodturners often use this glue after applying Thin CA Glue as it builds layers faster. This glue is well-liked among 3D printing enthusiasts, luthiers, and model makers who value precision bonding on the smallest, most delicate components.

Using the Starbond® precision tips, the medium glue makes getting into hard-to-reach cracks and detailed precision applications effortless. 

A small drop on white birch or balsa wood dries in just 12-15 seconds. On high surface energy plastics (like ones used in 3D printing) such as PLA, PETG, ABS, and TPU, the medium superglue can bond very fast (under 5 seconds).

Looking for even faster results? Pair with Starbond® Super Glue Accelerator for instant curing, even on challenging surfaces.

Bonding Tip: For smooth surfaces, lightly sand or scuff the area before applying. This increases surface area, resulting in a stronger bond.

Used For:

  • Achieve a high-gloss CA finish on wooden bowls, pens, and knife handles.
  • Repair and fill cracks, inclusions, voids, and knots in wood.
  • Bond wooden joints quickly using the blue tape technique.

Does its job

I used it to glue some intarsia pieces; it worked like a charm! The medium Super Glue keeps from running and stays in place.

Great glue for pen segmenting.

I also like the way the cap fits the bottle.

Starbond helps me turn bowls safely

I use Starbond Medium CA Glue when turning fresh wood on a lathe. Bowl blanks often crack while drying. By using Starbond Medium CA glue (with Accelerator) to strengthen cracks & weak spots I remain safe and can complete a project I might have to discard due to imperfections.

My most recent 10"x4" Black Locust bowl was "saved" using Starbond Medium CA glue. Highly dependable results.

Medium glue perfect for my application

With multiple printers and projects for them plus my own obsession with 3d printed planes the medium starbond works well, fills small gaps, gives time for adjustment and starbond accelerant if speed is required. Blew through the smaller bottle so went with the 16oz setup, lots of extra 2oz bottles, caps and small applicator tips. Good stuff.

Great product

Their medium ca glue is amazing for sealing knots in my projects. Dries very quickly as opposed to epoxy. Able to sand smooth in as little as 15 seconds.

Starbond CA glues are my choice when building rc planes. I’m using the Starbond thin, medium and thick. And especially for gaps, I use their medium and thick CA to fill. These are quality glues and the great thing is the applicators. The 2oz glues come with two applicator tips/caps , a set of fine tip applicators, a small plastic pin device for unclogging the the tip (if needed) and a solid screw on cap so you can keep the glue fresh. Starbond is the only CA company that puts a lot of thought into the applicators and the bottle itself that helps minimize clogging, glue build up, and gunky caps. I highly recommend. Check out my RC Plane Tech youtube channel where I’m currently using Starbond glues to build rc plane.
