I'm also a 40 year user and have researched the properties well in my shop, for my hobbies, and for my job. I can tell that you are a real expert, and there aren't many of us left! Just a couple of things I have learned that you probably already know. *Accelerator reduces the overall strength and increases brittleness slightly. I don't use it unless I need an instant cure *Very tiny amounts of kicker (accelerator) are all that's needed to start the polymerization process. The CA only needs a "sniff" of the kicker, and not wetting down. * Polymerization can travel, so hard to reach places can be sprayed nearby or skipped and the polymerization will travel an inch to unreachable places. * Carbon fiber, Kevlar, and fiberglass fabric and chop have a very strong affinity to CA and you can make very strong parts, fillets, and braces from it! Good video, thanks!

Seeing that you are an eyeglass wearer I thought I might add one problem I had when using CA during model aircraft making. I was working without ventilation but was aware of the fumes arising from the joints that I was making. It was sometime later that I realised my glasses were getting a bit blurry and it took me a while to establish that the fumes were reacting with anti-glare coating on the plastic lenses. So, one and all, as stated keep CA away from your skin but also don't get too close to the work if you wear glasses. Great video though and pleased to subscribe, we can always improve with learning.

Just a note on using CA glue for furniture repair. Thin CA glue can be very tricky for use on furniture repair because it soaks into the fibers everywhere it touches. As a result, you would have to sand deep into the wood to remove the CA adhesive from areas where it is not needed/wanted. Why does this matter? Well, in furniture repair you typically stain and finished the repaired area to match the rest of the furniture. Anywhere CA glue has absorbed into the wood will prevent stain and finish from being absorbed. As a result, you end up with a finish that never matches and will never match the original finish-if the finish takes at all. In the example he did with the 2x4s, the entire area where the 2x4s meet wouldn’t be able to properly be finished (regardless of what type of finish you use-oil, hard wax oil, lacquer, varnish, shellac, wax, etc) because the wood has been saturated with CA glue which has been cured. With wood glue, you can wipe up the glue from areas where it isn’t needed/wanted and because it’s not thin, very little of it wicks into the fibers. Therefore, once the glue dries, you can give the area a quick sanding and wood is ready for finish. Of course, the downside is that wood glue is not “instant” and requires clamping, but as far as strength, I would say it’s just as strong if not stronger than CA, without ruining the potential for a proper finish.
@Bob_Adkins4 ай бұрын
@@augievelasquez831 Right, good point! CA is not that great for fine furniture repairs. If you can confine it to deep mortises and braces that are out of sight, it's OK. You have to avoid getting it on the finished surfaces. Once you get it on fine wood, it's impossible to remove and it will show and spoil the surface.

I've been using CA as long as it's been around, but always under the guideline of 'Not for porous material'. Your experimentation has opened this 70 yr old's eyes & mind to the possibilities. I've experimented much more w/ epoxy over the decades & have found very quick setting epoxy to be equivalent to tack welding. I use yellow mesh dry wall tape, wore out Scotch Brite, (washed w/ 100% alcohol), for fiberglass like repairs & use mixing containers I can easily peel dried epoxy out of, chop it up & use it to fill large voids to minimize epoxy consumption I also save non-contaminated grindings & tailings from plastics, brass, cast iron, rubber, you name it, to make custom 'JB Weld' for clean looking, strong repairs. I've been impressed w/ the same brand of CA supplies you recommend & use them exclusively. I do have a fondness & specific uses for their black RC car tire repair formula. I'm sub'd & will be chk your vids out, over time. Regards, GeoD PS I remember my 1st shop teacher in 7th grade telling us we could tell a good glue joint when the cut joint didn't fail, but the material, itself, fails. Just like your tobyfore butt joint. How smooth was the end cut surface? Did you sand or flatten/chk for flatness/fit the mating surfaces? I imagine air gaps would contribute to failure/weakness. G

Thank you for your comment and suggestion, I've also utilized CA for lacerations for more than 40-years! My method involves; cleaning the wound with soap and water and then drying the wound with a clean paper-towel, encircling the laceration with CA, placing a larger piece of cellophane more than covering the wound area, and then using a vinyl bag to cover and press down on the cellophane, bonding the cellophane to the skin, but not your hands. This method allows one to continue to work by sealing the wound, even in the dirtiest environments. At the end of the workday, utilizing warm water, remove the cellophane and wash the wound and dress the laceration with antibiotic ointment, and cover the wound with adhesive bandages. The next workday, repeat the above procedure again to protect the wound from the work environment. David Riddle

That's the exact bottle I prefer to use for my projects, BSI super thin, and I love the tube idea inside. That being said, I wanted to know how you seal the bottle for storage with the tube inserted? Also, 2 side notes: I didn't realize a few years ago, just how aggravating those fumes could be to my lungs. I didn't wear any PPE while using the CA glue with paper towels, and the next day ended up in the hospital from coughing blood. Luckily it wasn't permanent damage, just irritated throat and lungs, and after about 24 hours it cleared up, but I could have easily ended up with bronchitis or pneumonia from it. I ALWAYS wear a mask now when using CA. And second note - If you use a lot of CA for projects, I highly recommend BSI's Debonder. It works great to reverse the CA bonding (not only for your parts, but for fingers as well). Just note that some plastics will also break down with the debonder. If you don't have the debonder available, while not as good, Acetone (nail polish remover) will work in a pinch. Thanks for the video, very helpful, and can't wait to try some of your techniques to improve my CA gluing projects.

I remember when dentists used sterile versions of CA in dentistry. My sister in the late 70s to early 90s worked for the Consumer product safety administration. She would enter accidents into their data base. One accident was a guy working at a repair shop was repairing a fishing rod with CA and he got CA all over his hands. The phone rang and he picked up the phone. Then after the call he realized the phone receiver was glued to one hand and the fishing rod was glued to the other hand lol.

This is one of my few comments. I work (play) with epoxy and a cnc machine. I was truly impressed with the info presented and maybe to even a greater degree your presentation. The only thing I’d like to add is I have allergies to many products I use. A good respirator helps in many applications. I tried using what yo use before seeing your video. Accelerator nearly killed me! However, I found the thicker glue works just fine and the curing time while , yes of course, isn’t as fast it still cures quick enough for all my work so far and I can keep on breathing! I especially like to use it with the taping method of attaching material for carving on my cnc machine. The glue sets up before I’m ready to carve even if it’s only a minute. Thanks again Tim

A comparison between the thin ca glue and 700 cps ca glue bonding wood would be nice! And the different techniques for glueing with the two would be helpful. I was thinking about buying a 16 oz bottle of 700 cps for wood projects, mostly pine. But i think i couldnt use it up before it would go to waste. A discussion of area glued to ounces of glue on wood ( even a vague estimate) would help. And further discussion of accelerators, and exothermic reactions and the chemistry of cotton etc would be great! Thanks for a great video, i learned a lot!

Just a quick note: The CA glue we use for wound binding is a different formulation than that used in the world at large. Using a plain CA glue in a wound can lead to more damage by exothermic reaction. The death of cells required for wound healing will slow healing, encourage infection and lead to scarring (that's why we don't use iodine-based antiseptics in wounds anymore). Also, the wound is approximated FIRST then the glue applied. We don't drop the Histocryl™ into the wound and then pull it together. I am one for 'make do' treatments when in remote locations but not when a Drs surgery or hospital is nearby.

Also a mask to protect against fumes that can cause stomach problems. I say this from real life experience.

Here's another use for CA, bowling ball repair. Today's bowling balls can cost $200 or more, and they tend to get chipped easily. Put CA glue on the hole to fill it, and spray the accelerator on the CA. It will harden like a rock, and then file the knob down to the surface. You will then have to sand it to make it blend with the surface. It's easier to do on a ball spinner, but you can get just as good results with an electric sander. BTW, I learned how to do this working in a bowling pro shop. Ask your pro shop how they repair dings in balls and they will tell you that's the method used.

Thanks a bunch! Please keep adding to the CA tips and tricks vids...

Don't get any on fine wood surfaces you want to look good. It's impossible to remove because it soaks in and leaves a stain in the wood. Also, go very light on the accelerator, just a sniff is all you need and it makes your project stink for days.

I used to install and fabricate granite countertops and we use this same stuff to glue seams or chips back in, it worked good. It would bust the granite before it let go. I’ve used it to glue my skin abrasion/cuts back together and worked like a charm. One time when we had a new employee start and he had no idea what it was I told him put in thumb and pointer finger together and I applied a small amount of the blue water thin bain ca glue and said hold it for 2 seconds. Then told him try to separate your fingers. It was super funny, but with acetone I was able to undo it.

1man1guitar brought up a good point about using safety glasses when using the thin CA. I would like to EMPHASIZE again that when using the small teflon tubing (which is a great idea btw) to insert it only to a level ABOVE the CA, not into the liquid CA, because if the tubing is below the liquid line and you squeeze the bottle in an upright position it will come squirting out with force and most likely into your eyes. Please emphasize this more in your video and possibly remake this video and show what could happen in this scenario. Thanks. Subbed too.

@@HowToHomeLife yeah, I saw that but the point I’m trying to make is to emphasize not to insert the 24g tubing too far into the bottle where the angled tip goes into the liquid CA glue for the reasons I mentioned before. You could even show what would happen by purposely doing it and squeezing the bottle in an upright position. You can use an old bottle and just put water in it to show the effect. I guarantee someone will watch your video and push that tubing all the way to the bottom of the bottle, squeeze it like you say to do, and they will end up gluing their eyes and mouth shut. Maybe this comment will keep someone out of the hospital.

I learned how to use CA this way recently and find it invaluable, especially when building strength into joints using baking soda. I have found that ordinary sellotape can be used to temporarily join components while gluing and then peeled off afterwards, this is useful when mending plastic frames of spectacles. The lenses in modern cheap glasses are held into the frames by shrinkage as the frame cools, they are not bonded and remain under tension so if you drop them the lens falls out. If you glue it back in carefully with CA the lens becomes a component of the frame and will never fall out again. Just be careful it has dried fully before you wear them as the fumes can be very irritant. I haven't tried it yet but it might be worth while using something like Vaseline on the lenses to prevent any stray CA permanently marking them.
@HowToHomeLife2 ай бұрын
Thank you for your comment and suggestions, I also use water-thin CA in repairing my readers. I've discovered that washing the frames and lenses to remove the facial oils that are always present, with 99% isopropyl alcohol and letting it dry completely, improves the bonding dramatically. I don't recommend using Vaseline for the previous reasons, the key is, very sparingly apply water-thin CA, and immediately cure it with BSI Insta-Set accelerator, this prevents the curing gasses to condense on the lenses, and there brand of accelerator will not effect the frames or lenses.
