Never point the tip of a CA bottle toward your face

and be especially careful when you unclog a CA tip.

Hobbico CA Applicator Tips (HCAR3780) are highly
recommended and will help keep the bottle from

clogging. Keep paper towels or tissues close by to

immediately absorb excess CA dropped on your
model or work area. Read all the warning labels on

your CA bottle. CA Accelerator is a chemical that
you can spray over uncured CA to make it cure

immediately. A mist spray of accelerator will do the
job. Do not inhale the vapors! Some modelers
"preprime" the parts to be glued with accelerator,
join them, then add the CA. This way the CA is

guaranteed to cure immediately. This prepriming is
especially handy when you use thin CA because it

will cure before all of the glue soaks into the wood
away from the glue joint. We do not recommend

you build your entire model with this method and

use accelerator only when necessary. Often,

overspray from accelerator used hours or even days
earlier on nearby glue joints will cause the CA you

use on the next step to cure prematurely and
unexpectedly - so be careful!

Aliphatic Resin - Resin glues require that parts be

pinned or clamped together while the glue dries/-

typically 1 5 - 3 0 minutes. Resin glues are very

strong and work well with balsa and plywoods.

Epoxy - Epoxy glues are the strongest but require the
most time to cure. Six-minute epoxy cures the fastest;

it sets within six minutes but is not fully cured for one

hour or more. Thirty-minute epoxy is the strongest as

it allows the epoxy to soak into the wood thoroughly.

While it sets within 30 minutes, it will not be fully

cured for two or more hours.
