super glue
Hi All,
I overheard in a hardware store a chap saying that Bicarb Soda was a good accelerator for super glue .I spinkled some on a small project that I had just glued and it worked a treat with the glue I was using. Has anyone heard of this before ???
RonIf in doubt panic

Yep it works a treat, used a lot to fill defects quickly especially in plastic.
Put a pile of Bi carb on the dent and pour on super glue goes hard in seconds and can then be sanded or filed down ready for paint.

What type of super glue are you using? Can you explain what you mean by "good accelerator"?

cleaning superglue
TTIT, that has happened to me and if I remember correctly I soaked them in Windex for five minutes and the spots came loose.

I just scratched them off with a fingernail. Prob the crud already on them gave the glue a poor bond ;-}

Obviously everyone here is familiar with good ol' CA, so I think this is as good a place as any to ask: what do you use for spreading when using it as a finish?
There's naught worse than getting part way through and having things come... stuck (as opposed to unstuck. :eek: ) I've been told to use a piece of styrofoam, apparently superglue won't stick to it at all. Before I try it, I'm not yet convinced, I'm wondering what other people use. Obviously glass is out...

That soft foamy packing stuff that's wrapped around electronic gear is good. SG doesn't stick to.

What happened to our superglue resident expert Gatiep? Joe gave us all valuable information about superglue but he hasn't been on the board for months.:confused:
