Bob Smith Industries Maxi-Cure™ Extra Thick CA is the best CA for most plastics, including GE’s Lexan MAXI-CURE™ is the best choice for plastic model assembly. When used with INSTA-SET™, it works better than any putty for modifying or filling voids. It can be carved with a knife or razor blade and sanded and feathered to form a finish indistinguishable from plastic. MAXI-CURE™ bonds fiberglass, hardwood, metal and rubber better than any other hobby adhesive. For gluing to the inside, clothtextured surface of fiberglass, scrape the area to be bonded with a razor blade or coarse sandpaper before using MAXI-CURE™ or any other adhesive. It also is best for bonding the tires for R/C cars.
SUPER-GOLD™ and SUPER-GOLD+™
are our ODORLESS INSTA-CURE CAs They are non-frosting and take only 2 or 3
seconds longer to bond. There are no fumes that irritate the nose and eyes. The
SUPER-GOLD™’s do not attack white foam; therefore, they can be used in the
building of foam core wings and the assembly and repair of plastic and foam
ARF’s. They will not fog clear plastic. SUPER-GOLD+™ is ideal for attaching
clear canopies in plastic model kits; however, MAXI-CURE™ is still recommended
for assembling the rest of plastic kits. Wood can be bonded to white foam with
SUPER-GOLD +™ in less than fifteen seconds. For bonding foam to foam, spray a
very light fog of INSTA-SET™ to one piece and apply SUPER-GOLD+™ to the other
before joining. Excess INSTA-SET™ may create too much heat, which can melt the
foam. Both SUPER-GOLD™’s cure to a more flexible consistency for better shock
absorbtion. Whenever a large amount of CA is to be used in such applications as
saturating fiberglass or Kevlar, SUPER-GOLD™ eliminates the irritating fumes
from the evaporating monomer that make repeated use of CA unpleasant at times.
MAXI-CURE™ has proven to be very popular in the archery business for the fletching of vanes onto aluminum and carbon arrow shafts. Along with being the strongest, MAXI-CURE™ is usually the least expensive option for this application.
Bob Smith Industries Insta-Flex Product Description (BSI119): Bob Smith Industries INSTA-FLEX™ flexible thin cyanoacrylate is ideal for many applications, including the installation of cyanoacrylate hinges. When cured, INSTA-FLEX™ does not turn brittle and remains clear, even if accelerated with INSTA-SET™. It has superior shock resistance. Although not as thin in consistency as INSTA-CURE™, INSTA-FLEX™ still has good penetrating qualities and its application can be easier to control.
For cyanoacrylate hinges, we recommend drilling a 1/16" hole in the center of the hinge slots to insure the complete saturation of the hinge when INSTA-FLEX™ is applied. Bob Smith Industries INSTA-FLEX™ has a different, less irritating odor compared to regular cyanoacrylates, but still can not be used on white foam.
Bob Smith Industries INSTA-FLEX™ has also proven to be superior when bonding anodized aluminum.
Bob Smith Industries Insta-Flex Product Description (BSI120): INSTA-FLEX+™ clear rubber toughened has similar qualities to our black IC-2000™ but can be used in applications where you do not want the adhesive to be seen. The carbon component of IC-2000™ that gives the CA its black color also contributes to its unsurpassed strength. Since INSTA-FLEX+™ has this carbon removed, its strength is a little less than IC-2000™ but still superior to standard CA's. When esthetics are important and a flexible bond is required, INSTA-FLEX+™ is your best choice. It forms superior bonds to soft urethane and vinyl plastics. Both INSTA-FLEX™ and INSTA-FLEX+™ work well when bonding R/C car tires. When a joint has a larger than normal gap, flexible CA's provide superior shock resistent bonds.
