FAQs
What materials can I use this adhesive on?
It works well on non-porous and low-porosity materials, wood, and some plastics. It is excellent for wicking into cracks.
How long does it take for the adhesive to set?
It sets in 3-15 seconds, but full cure is achieved after 24 hours.
How should I store the adhesive?
Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally at +5 degrees C, away from warmth and direct sunlight.
What is the shelf life?

Can I speed up the drying time?
Yes, you can use CA-UK Activator for Superglues to reduce the drying time to less than 2 seconds.
How much adhesive should I use?
Apply a small amount. The ultra-thin viscosity allows it to wick into the area, so less is often more.
Do I need to clamp the pieces together?
Clamping is recommended for the best results, especially when repairing cracks or bonding larger items. Hold the pieces together for 3-15 seconds initially.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive isn't bonding.
Ensure surfaces are clean and dry. Make sure you are using enough adhesive. Consider clamping the pieces together for a longer time.
Adhesive dries too slowly.
Apply a thinner layer. Use CA-UK Activator for Superglues to speed up the drying process.
Nozzle is clogged.
Carefully clean the nozzle with a pin or needle. If the nozzle is damaged, replace it.
