Bob Smith Industries Insta-Set Super Glue Accelerator 2 fl oz - Fast Drying Liquid Activator for Cyanoacrylate Adhesives, Enhance Repair Speed - Strawberry Scent

Great product, works great, pleasant smell also.

Works fast, spray is convenient. Smell is strong but not overpowering

I received accelerator quickly brand new pkg, Used it next day to repair a EPO foam RC EDF jet. I used the foam safe CA (same manufacturer) and worked great! My spray tip worked great as well. Sets glue instantly, then just let it sit awhile (says 3 hrs on glue instructs). I see others had issues, but I never have had issues with this brand, is the most recommended brand the RC guys use for years. Only need to wait a minute or two then gently wipe the area off and done. But, only need a little and yes, follow instructions.

Works great bonds ca glue instantly

First let me just say that this accelerator works very well, the glue dries nearly instantly, and it dries clear so that's a win. However, the spray cap that came on this bottle did not work very well at all. After the customary few pumps to get the fluid into the tube and up to the spray head, it half sprayed and half dripped down the front of the bottle onto my hand. Fortunately replacement bottles aren't hard to come by locally. It's advertised as having a pleasant strawberry scent, to me it smells more like cherry pipe tobacco which wouldn't be at all unpleasant barring the underlying petroleum smell. All in all, this is a great product, and I will be buying more when this runs out. I just hope the next bottle has a fully functional spray cap.

I learned about this when I did some industrial work involving cyanoacrylate glue, working with the manufacturer. Normally, water is the hardening agent for CA glue. In most climates, water vapor in the atmosphere does the trick. But in very dry climates, or when the layer of glue can't be super thin, it can take a long time for the water vapor to permeate and harden the bond. This stuff does the trick, and only a tiny amount is needed. Just apply superglue to both surfaces (as thin a layer as practicable), one quick spray on one surface, and then press QUICKLY into place. Just a little mist hitting the surface is sufficient. You may not have any time to adjust once the pieces are mated, since it can cure in under a second (the thinner the glue, the faster it sets.) Make sure the superglue tube is well away from where you spray! It can also work to apply glue to one piece and spray the other. You can also glue normally and spray the edge, but I find this is less reliable. It's particularly great for things like model building, so you can glue two parts and within seconds move on to the next step -- assuming you're using a nice thin film of superglue. Downsides: If you have a thick layer of glue (which you shouldn't, but it happens) it can make the glue bubble, reducing both strength and appearance. But the biggest downside is that if you mate the pieces wrong, you better fix it fast! No sliding around until you get it right.

This is the best ever! This is a nonpaid comment. I don’t even like wasting my time leaving comments. I don’t even like responding to Amazon’s courtesy emails to leave people good reviews. It’s like damn spam. But this product stuck out. I ain’t gotta say nothing but you better buy it.

100 percent of the time, it works every time. Smells like Bigfoot’s d

I firstly heard about this particular product from a vintage radio restorer on YouTube who uses typical super glue (Cyanoacrylate) to repair hairline cracks in Bakelite cased radios but only when the damage is not visible to the eye such as the cabinet interior. Anyway my interest in how he approached repairing a Bakelite crack with cyanoacrylate was piqued when he presented a pump bottle of the BSI 'curing' accelerator and after a quick spray onto the glued region effectively set the super glue within around 20 seconds and the repair was then complete. Afterwards I thought about the possibilities of using this cyanoacrylate curing spray and how useful it would be in my electronic servicing work. As I tend to use super glue quite often in relevant situations I often get annoyed at how long the glue takes to bond two materials, usually plastics in my case and sometimes the necessity to hold two surfaces together with my hand/s until the glue eventually 'takes'. Fairly recently I decided to order the 'Bob Smith Industries Instant-Set CA Accelerator' on Amazon, the price of which was very reasonable and within a week it, (along with a couple of other items I'd ordered at the same time), arrived at my home and that evening I went about effecting a repair using super glue followed by a light spray with the BSI Instant-Set Cyanoacrylate Accelerator. Well I was very impressed with how quickly the spray cured and hardened the glue after application and I felt the end repair result was more akin to a fix using 2 part epoxy as the accelerator spray seemed to made the cyanoacrylate cure 'harder' other than just curing on its own. Highly recommend the Bob Smith Industries Instant-Set CA Accelerator Spray.

Works great and dries my super glue in 30 seconds. Priceless!

This item is great, I tried to write a scathing review of the gorrilla glue and I think it ended up here by accident - I would remove if I could or knew how

Using this accelerant makes a huge difference when modelling as it takes the setting time from most superglues from 30+ seconds down to 2-3 seconds. This has really changed my approach to using superglue and has allowed me to use larger quantities for a better, more solid bond without having to worry about excessive leakage or movement when fitting. Because it set's so fast, I'd highly recommend test fitting 2-3 times before applying the glue and the accelerant as you only have about 2 seconds second to get it correctly positioned. Other big tip is to unscrew the cap and use the bottom of the tube to dab accelerant on your model rather than spraying it. This reduces waste as well as preventing overspray all over a model.

Spread super glue/ca glue to piece A, spray piece B with accelerator and press together. You will have an instant bond on most materials. It also seems to set harder than just the glue alone. Great product.
