Starbond CA Glue for Wood Tips & Tricks: Episode 4

[@kengunnell6398]

You fully disclosed Starbond sponsorship and even give a discount code. Way to go. I have tried CA glue on chip brushes before and it warms great EXCEPT with epoxy. The epoxy acts like a solvent on the CA glue and ruins the finish as it clumps and mixes. Great tips keep up the good work!

[@ashleywynn4923]

Mr. Colin, thank you for the videos. Beginner woodworker here that i dove in head first building my own kitchen cabinets. Your’s as well as some other youtubers have given me a ton of knowledge, thank you.

After use if the cap is put on immediately CA glue still fills the small tip of the bottle and then plugs. To alleviate this I've now set the bottle down and let the glue retreat into the bottle for a minute or two, then squeeze the bottle to force any glue left in the tip out. I quickly wipe off the end and then put on the cap. No more plugged tips on the glue bottles.

[@andrewbieger5004]

Dammit Man. THAT is genius. Think of the countless hours un-plugging the nozzle of glue bottles. Beats the occasional needle jab into the fingers, also. Is there a solvent which helps remove the excess glue (while still wet, of course)? I would imagine the same trick can be used for the Titebond type bottles.

@@andrewbieger5004 Acetone on a paper or cotton towel, one wipe and it's clean, or a more expensive but less likely to damage US-1 Super Solvent 2oz debonder for CA glue, thank you. On Titebond I like MANY others replace the cap with a Frenches mustard cap!

[@andrewbieger5004]

@@jaayjones5937 thanks for the tips.

[@dgperforms1]

I simply use an old pickle jar full of Acetone. Drop the tips in when finished using the Glue. Works great

[@LewHarriman]

Great tips. I had not thought of the idea of using CA glue to keep those loose, hairy bristles attached at the ferrule of those handy, low-cost brushes, which I use as glue spreader-applicators. And appreciate the reminder of their "debonder" product. (I think you probably can figure out why I say that!)

[@leonlemgruber2119]

Not sure if tested yet, but CA GLUE and Baking Soda make a really strong and hard composite. I use that when I need to a heavy duty fix or filling. You can even sand and paint it.

[@kenerickson4923]

Love Starbond products. I use a few drops on joints along with my normal wood glue. The CA + accelerator holds the joint together quickly and no clamps are needed.

[@seephor]

Since this topic is on CA glue. If you ever get some on your skin, let it fully cure then you can use some 300 grit sandpaper to sand it off very easily

[@chewbacca5986]

Thank you for sharing this, I find all the different glues terribly intimidating. Really appreciative of the explanations

[@SMee67]

Great tips, mate, cheers. 👍🏽 Quick Tip, if you glue your finger to the board or whatever, twist it off and it will come away easier and pain free without tearing skin, unlike trying to peel it off.

[@wolfman75]

Cool!!! Thanks For The Tips & Info!!!! 👍😎😃

[@kevinstephens1109]

Well ordered some. Saved $12.49 awesome. Thanks for the great video content

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome tips, Colin! Thanks a lot! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@hansangb]

@6:30 if you find yourself with a finger stuck to a piece of wood, try twisting your finger. CA glues hold very well if you try to pull your finger off. But they have no shear strength. So usually, if you twist your finger, it'll come up easily.

[@andrewbieger5004]

Great tips, Colin. The trick with the bristles on the cheapie paint brushes is AWESOME. I have lost a lot of religion retrieving stray brush hairs out of a freshly painted/ varnished piece, which defeats the potential time savings of a disposable brush. Even if you clean out the brush for re-use, the brush goes 'bald' very shortly.

[@GeorgeCooper_LoneWolf]

Like the knot idea will use that one 👍

[@josevillanueva6992]

Thanks for sharing. As always you have good tips. Greetings from El Salvador.

[@chadwickpainter8212]

Thanks for this. I've been looking for a CA glue I can trust and this looks very promising. I like that they have many different types for different applications. Thank you for the info!

[@turboflush]

I like that brush trick

[@johnbeltron8787]

Super product 👌. Appreciate the tips.

[@CHenry1951]

I use star bond all the time, great stuff. Those in doubt put two drops on a couple of boards hit with the accelerator try and pull it apart........

[@jimmymitchell2474]

What great video. Thanks

[@ForestWoodworks]

Great tips. Thank you Colin!

[@DavidMiller-kq8sf]

Hi Colin I missed using you CA discount code by a few days. My mind thought it went to the end of the month of October. Question; do you think you will ever have another code for the Starbond company? BTW, I have never purchased their product, but would like to try them out. Thanks for your time in answering my question. D Miller

[@mick882]

Ok guys, maybe my comment has upset some people, which I didn't mean to do. For the record I'm not unsubing as I respect Colin and his great content. So they're ya go

[@robertivey3268]

Colin, can you provide a link for the two kinds of gloves you used in this video? TIA

[@ronbrewer7788]

Great tips Colin. You mentioned something in this video about putting CA glue in the fridge. I have never heard that before. Is this something that do with all glues or just CA. And for CA do you put it in the fridge only after it has been opened, or should this be done for new unopened bottles also. Thanks Ron Love your info you put out there for us beginners.

[@mudshark1971]

I have a split on a cutting board I almost finished on the lightest part of maple. What starbond would you suggest?

[@WaschyNumber1]

Funny cool idea 👍🖖

[@angusbellingan9286]

I like the pencil idea but I would glue the pencil to a piece of dowel and then the rest of the pencil could still be used

[@huejanus5505]

But then you can’t use the rest of the dowel. Dowels are more expensive than pencils.

[@LukeKroeker]

A lot more infomercial than tips here. Still some good little nuggets. Thanks!

[@WoodenCreationz]

Great video!!!

[@Okun240]

Note - CA glue not OK for paradord if parachuting (or really anything else if you’re serious enough to use paracord)

[@I-Love-Taylor-Swift]

Am I the only viewer thinking "what was that at 2:28" ???

[@ot9180]

Do you prefer Scotch or Vodka?

[@misterhat5823]

Another Starbond ad... Whoopee. Like there aren't 50 billion of these anyways...

[@mick882]

Very sad to see this Colin. You've just posted an 11 minute advertisement for a product. Time to unsub

[@marquisbois990]

Don’t think anyone is going to miss you.

[@mick882]

@@marquisbois990 Well I've supported Colin from day one

[@Keifsanderson]

Have you ever used CA glue? I learned about it from him, and I'm glad he advocates it. It's awesome. Anyways, the man has to make a living. How much were you paying him? Most people don't support YT creators, and the platform favors idiotic content.

[@kkalafus]

I don't really understand this attitude. God forbid the content creators we all like are able to make a living. If there's a video you don't like, you can just skip it.

[@denniswhite166]

Just think a second. You know you're gonna stick around because you've learned stuff from Colin.
