Difference Between Super Glue and CA Glue: Super glue, cyanoacrylate, and CA glue are all different names that describe the same instant adhesive. Various user groups adopt different names for them. For instance, woodworkers, model-builders, serious hobbyists and skilled crafting pros use terms like cyanoacrylate adhesive or CA glue. Commercially, most know the adhesive as superglue. Starbond EM-2000 Starbond Thick is a thick viscosity CA glue. The gap filler cyanoacrylate glue fills large voids and gaps. A single drop of thick super glue remains stationary when applied on angled downward sloping surfaces. Curing time is extended for extra positioning time to ensure precise bonding. Depending on the surface type, bonding time may exceed longer than two minutes. In such instances, Starbond Accelerator is recommended to speed up bonding time. Used In: > Woodturning and Pen Making: Glue pen tubes into pen blanks. The thickness of the CA fills gaps between the tubes for a secure bonding Woodworking: Sign making, glue miter joints Quick repairs for auto paint and body Fast Strong Joints: Trim carpentry, picture framing, or discrete repairs on wallpaper, veneer, laminate, costume jewelry Filling large gaps and holes Plastic and metal model assembly Forming unique finishes by carving, sanding, and feathering Used to bond together various kayak panels. (Faster set time than epoxy) Coral fragging Shoe repairs Marble, Granite and Quartz repair Taxidermy Articulators Temporary auto bumper repair Compatible With: Wood Metal Rubber Leather Ceramics Gemstones Rocks & Minerals Carbon Fiber Fiberglass PVC and Most Plastics. Tips: When bonding two very smooth surfaces together, it is advisable to make the surfaces abrasive so they have more holding strength.
Features
- PREMIUM ETHYL CYANOACRYLATE SUPER GLUE – LAB TESTED FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE: High performance industrial grade adhesive. Thick CA is used to fill voids and gaps. Super Glue Accelerator: Speed up bonding time while minimizing brittleness and whitening.
- “GAP-FILLER” ADHESIVE: Ideal for heavy-duty bonding. Also used for “fletching” in archery and “fragging” for coral reefs
