Jay, you're using accelerator wrong! Unscrew the cap, and dab the end that sits in the liquid against one of the two surfaces you're going to glue. Then put glue on the other, then fit them together. You waste WAAAAY less accelerator, the smell doesn't spread, and it creates a much stronger bond.

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but a nice alternative to super glue accelerator that I learned about from Adam Savage Videos is baking soda. You only need to spray a little on the super glue and it will react and cause it to cure pretty fast. It also appears to add strength to the joint if you use a decent amount of baking soda. Funnily enough, the oils on your skin are also an accelerator which is why super glue almost instantly dries when you touch it.

No amount of hand work was getting this stuff smoothed out, and I had started looking at paint mixers online, idlily using the massage gun on my leg until it dawned on me! I threw a ball bearing into the pot, and put a flat end on my massage gun and let it get to work. Results were amazing, to the point where I knew this was what I would be doing for all my paints. Very easy budget friendly alternative, and its use extends well beyond helping with my hobby!

The vortex mixer is a great solution for those who don’t paint often. Especially contrast paints. You can see the pigment collect on the bottom of the bottle, and no way just shaking it gets those to mix back in. I’ve tried, and it took even my vortex mixer a couple of minutes to get those to mix. I’d be lifting weights before I would be able to mix seldom used contrast by hand.

Now you have an amazing paint shaker.

How I use accelerator is with a disposable pipette (I reuse it as much I can). I open the cap, dip the pipette and get a tiny amount. Then I place a drop on the joint after putting glue on and holding it in place. It soaks in and sets most of the glue. I've only done this on resin models so far. Other way is to use a cotton swap to apply on one side of the joint first then put the glue on the other side. Bonds pretty fast when pressed together.

For superglue accelerant, using the applicator like a dropper, putting just one drop on one surface, superglue on the other, works wonders. I never spray it, it gets everywhere and stinks, but use a drop on the one side and superglue on the other and you avoid the fumes and you get pretty much instant curing, good enough to set down and move on to the next thing and great after 30 seconds or so.

Everyone commenting about how to use the accelerator is correct. 2 additions: 1) I built a little stand to store my accelerator in while the cap is loose because it's easy to knock over like the tall Nuln Oil bottles. Highly recommended. 2) the reaction between the two fluids is not 'instant,' if you are breaking the bond after use you need to give it a few seconds. Goobertown hobbies has a great video explaining the chemical functionality of CA glue and accelerators. If the lighting is right, you can see the wave of CA catalyze across an area touched with accelerant. Careful: this reaction is exothermic! You can burn your fingertips, it gets HOT!

I love superglue accelerator. The way I do it is I spray one side, dab glue on the other and then once you connect them it bonds basically instantly. You have like 1-2 seconds to adjust the position but then, thats it. That is one of the downsides of it but also an upside. And yeah, the fumes are rough.
