"Super Fast" Thin Super Glue

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.

Super products

I have been using Starbond CA for a while. Your products are superior to other brands. I have used the thick, medium, and thin Starbond. All of them have uses in my wood carving.
One and a half years ago I had a stoke. I no longer have use of my right arm (my dominant arm). In order to power carve I must use only my left arm. To compensate I make many jigs to help me hold and carve my projects. Most use Starbond products to glue some of the pieces together. Recently I’ve ordered the Super Fast Thin what a great product. I don’t need to use clamps,
just hold the pieces together for a few seconds. It makes my job easier
I also like the fact that he 2 oz glue comes with extra nozzles and some micro nozzles!

Starbond is Our Friend

I may have overstated that but it would be accurate to say that there are few wood work applications done in our shop that don’t in some way use a Starbond product. Thin, Medium, Thick, Clear, Brown or Black. It’s right at our fingertips thru the project.
Thank you for a great product

I use the super fast thin for stabilizing the pith area on elk antlers. I have tried other CA glues the past and they are all too thick to penetrate in and solidify the center. It also works great on soft woods.

Starbond CA glues are my choice when building rc planes. I use thin, medium, and thick for my balsa wood rc plane kit builds. 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 an rc plane.

The thin works great to seal small cracks and to stabilize punky wood spots and amazing inlays. Truly works amazing on my wood turnings.

This product flowed into a very narrow opening leaving no glue line. The factory installed insert was loose, it is now solid. Nothing to clean up. AMAZING!
