FAQs
How long does it take to fully cure?
While it forms a strong bond in seconds, full curing may take up to 24 hours for maximum strength.
Can I use this on foam?
This super glue is generally not recommended for use on foam materials, as it can dissolve some types of foam.
What is the shelf life of Contacta Quick 5g?
When stored correctly in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly sealed, it typically has a shelf life of 1-2 years.
Is it waterproof once dried?
Once fully cured, the bond offers good resistance to water but is not entirely waterproof for prolonged submersion.
Can it be used for gap filling?
No, this is a fast-acting adhesive designed for close-fitting parts and is not intended for filling significant gaps.
How do I clean up uncured glue?
Wipe away uncured glue immediately with a damp cloth or paper towel. For hardened glue, gentle scraping or a suitable solvent may be required.
Troubleshooting
Glue not dispensing
Ensure the cap is fully removed and that the nozzle is clear. If blocked, try gently poking with a fine pin.
Bond is weak
Verify that both surfaces were clean, dry, and free of dust or grease before application. Ensure sufficient pressure was applied during the bonding process.
Accidental bonding of fingers or surfaces
If fingers are bonded, do not force them apart. Soak in warm, soapy water or use a commercial super glue remover. For surfaces, gently try to peel or roll apart if the bond is fresh; otherwise, carefully use a solvent like acetone (test on an inconspicuous area first).

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: This super glue is highly compatible with most plastics, wood, leather, metal, cardboard, porcelain, and ceramics. It is particularly recommended for plastic model kits.
