Product Description

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, cloth textured 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. INSTA-SET is a catalyst which acts as an accelerator that allows CAs to quickly cure in thick layers by enhancing the alkaline conditions during polymerization. INSTA-SET in a spray bottle is normally used to cure the CA that flows from joints when parts are pressed together. Applying an additional bead of thick CA along a seam and then curing it with INSTA-SET significantly enhances a joint’s strength. For difficult to bond materials, INSTA-SET can be applied to one surface and CA to the opposite surface. When brought together, they will bond instantly. INSTA-SET is formulated with a strawberry scent and activates CA in 6 to 8 seconds without any degrading of the CAs strength, which can occur with many other accelerators. Maxi-Cure is very popular in the archery industry for fletching, which is the bonding of feathers and vanes to the ends of the aluminum and carbon fiber arrow shafts. Directions in 5 different languages.

    Customers are mixed about the adhesion of the bonding adhesives. Some mention that it's a great product that increases the effectiveness of super glue, making it useful in many applications. However, others say that it loses its strength to bond after it'd been opened and exposed to the air.

    65 customers mention40 positive25 negative

    Customers are mixed about the drying time of the bonding adhesives. Some mention that it does dry instantly, while others say that it was totally dried out before they even used it. The bottle is designed in a way that allows the glue to dry inside and completely block the flow.

    "...one that's never been used, I found out that the glue was gelled and dry, completely unusable...." Read more

    52 customers mention0 positive52 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the leakage of the bonding adhesive. They mention that the accelerator leaks from under the plunger with each spray, and the product leaks out of the threaded cap. Some say that the product spilled all inside the package.

    "I had the leaking issues with the insta set that some have mentioned but I emailed Bob smith directly and I got a very fast reply and not only did..." Read more

    "...However my spray head was a little weird at first and dripped all over, lost a bit off the top but fixed it...." Read more

    "First set I received the spray didn't spray.. it did however leak all over my hand as it pooled up under the spray cap...." Read more

    "...The accelerator had leaked inside the plastic packaging and the glue was rock hard. This product is non-returnable, so buyer beware!" Read more

    Amazing product
    I bought this set of Glue + accelerator and it has been awesome. I keep it in the garage fridge and I have been using it for about a year and a half with no issues. This glue continues to surprise me. I use it to join 12+ft baseboards and carry them upstairs after only minutes of cure time and it holds incredibly well. With the accelerator it holds strong in just a few seconds. The nozzle has never clogged on me unlike other brands. You wont be disappointed
