BSI Bobs Smith Industries For the most part the fumes that CA’s emit during the curing process although unpleasant don’t actually do any harm. If however sensitivity is an issue, or perhaps the working area where the CA is being used is unable to receive adequate ventilation, odourless CA’s in the form of Super-Gold™ and Super-Gold+ do provide a solution.

Super-Gold™ and Super-Gold+™

Super Gold and Super Gold+

Both of these CA’s are completely odourless during curing, so no irritation to nose or eyes, are non-blooming and only take a few seconds longer to bond than the standard versions. They are not as strong as regular CA and are much more expensive to produce but in situations when a lot of gluing is being done such as the saturation of fibreglass cloth when laminating they provide an escape from exposure to the irritating and unpleasant fumes of the evaporating monomer.

In addition Super-Gold’s don’t attack white foam so they can be used in the construction of foam core wings and the repair of any of the many foam based ARF’s that are available nowadays. The non-blooming property also makes them the best choice for plastic kit construction with clear parts like canopies, although Super-Gold is still the best choice for assembly of the rest of the kit.

Insta-Set™

BSI Insta Set

The property of surfaces to be bonded has a direct effect on the speed at which the bond will cure. Low moisture and ph increase curing times. Accelerator is formulated to condition the join so that the CA will harden in less than ten seconds. It can be used to cure larger amounts of CA as found in lose joints and sets any excess that may squeeze out of a joint before it can cause problems dripping or sticking unexpected components, like fingers!

Insta-Set™ is a catalyst that accelerates the curing process by enhancing the alkaline levels during the polymerisation process. Applied from a spay bottle it is usually applied to harden the CA that flows from a joint, but it can also be applied to one of the surfaces to be bonded, the other carrying the CA will bond immediately the surfaces come into contact with each other.

Insta-Set is enhanced with a strawberry scent and activates CA in six to eight seconds. Unlike some accelerators it doesn’t degrade and reduce the strength of the CA and it is compatible with all surfaces including white foam and clear plastic.

Un-Cure

Un-Cure™

A debonder that will soften cured CA. If parts are bonded incorrectly or your fingers are stuck together, a few drops will dissolve the CA in about a minute. Apply on bonded skin and roll apart fingers. Once stuck, use acetone to clean off softened CA, then wash off with soap and water.
