Reviews : Hobbylinc INSTA-SET Cyanoacrylate Accelator 2oz

I call this stuff 'liquid patience'. I love it. I do most of my modeling with CA gel, and using this speeds matters up tremendously. I almost never use the spray, but rather use its tube as an applicator. It is especially useful in rigging with elastic line. You put a tiny daub of CA gel where you want the end of the 'wire' to go, wet the end of the line with the accelerator, and touch that to the dot of CA gel and hold it there for few seconds. This has one 'off label' use I have found quite handy. It will destroy the tack of any sort of tape. Wet tape thoroughly with this, and after a few moments it will lift off like so much wet newspaper. No paint will come with it. This use is not compatible with an enamel finish, but is well suited to acrylics of the Model Master (non solvent) sort.

I build plastic model sailing ships. Before I discovered this product I struggled with trying to get various parts of a ship model to stay in place until the glue dried without having to physically put pressure on it, even using CA glues. Gun port covers, spars attached to masts, small cannons that were attached to railings...were all difficult to keep in place. With this product, practically any part can be secured instantly. However, I do not use the spray applicator, but rather a small brush that I dip in the bottle and then wipe on the connection that I am making. Another great feature is that it does not affect the paint, thus eliminating the need to go back and touch up parts. This product is a 'must have' for anyone who builds plastic model sailing ships.

works. I have a small bottle of the stuff that has lasted numerous bottles of CA. it sets things up instantly. does turn the CA whitish if the CA is in a puddle or pooled up drop. can get warm. great on those hard to glue joints (like plastic to EPO, or Carbon Fiber. will help fill a gap too (but won't likely be very pretty...) spray bottle is useful if you want to get it on a larger surface. I find it hard and wasteful for most building - get a dropper bottle and then you can get it right where you need it. its worked and lasted a long time.

I consider this to be absolutely essential to model building. I discarded the pump replaced the lid. and attached an evergreen plastic tube to the bottle, glued it to a small 4in x 4in piece of 1 bye . A dedicated dental pic lives in the tube. I USE THE INSTA-SET IN VERY SMALL AMOUNTS used this way, it lasts for years. with plasti-zap let the glue set for a few seconds then apply the accelarater. it does not seem to weaken the joint used like this

Okay that maybe a over statement but I still love this stuff. As soon as it hits superglue the items is glued like a rock. No more waiting, a little smelly but at that bad.

Does exactly what the name implies. Hardens CA glue instantly. I use a pipette with a glue extender tip on it to apply one small drop.

Have used this product on CA glues and it does speed the setting of the glue. Compatible with all surfaces

This stuff is fantastic. It does what is says on the bottle. Too bad it doesn’t come with an applicator.

Paired with Maxi-Cure glue I use this to bond a seam instant. Mix the two together for filling seams.

Great stuff for anyone using ca glue.Instantly sets ca glue
