Product Information
Full details
The Deluxe Materials Super Phatic! is a thin, low-odor cyanoacrylate adhesive designed for modelers needing a glue that penetrates deeply and provides strong bonds on a variety of materials. It is ideal for pin and gluing balsa, hardwood, bonding plastic hinges, and adhering carbon fibre and foam. While offering excellent adhesion and ease of cleanup, users should be aware that its thin nature requires careful application to avoid excess flow.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of Super Phatic! over other super glues?
Its primary advantage is its thin, low-odor formula that penetrates deeply, providing better joint strength on porous materials and offering easier cleanup with water before curing.
Can I use Super Phatic! on foam?
Yes, it is specifically recommended for bonding various types of foam, including polystyrene and depron, due to its penetrating qualities and compatibility.
How long does it take to cure?
Initial bond forms in 10-30 seconds. Full cure time can vary depending on materials, humidity, and temperature, but is typically within a few minutes to an hour for maximum strength.
Is it safe to use indoors?
It has low odor and is generally safer for indoor use than standard cyanoacrylates, but good ventilation is still recommended, especially for prolonged use.
What should I do if I get it on my skin?
Do not pull the skin apart. Soak the bonded area in warm, soapy water or nail polish remover (acetone). Gently try to ease the skin apart. For eyelids, seek medical attention.
How should I store the glue?
Store upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent the glue from hardening in the bottle.
Can I use an accelerator with Super Phatic!?
Yes, an accelerator can be used to speed up the curing process, which is particularly useful for non-porous materials or when a very fast bond is required.
Troubleshooting
Glue is too runny and drips.
Apply more sparingly. Use a jig or tape to hold parts in place while curing. Consider using an accelerator to speed up the bonding process.
Bond is weak or fails.
Ensure surfaces are clean and dry. Apply sufficient glue for penetration. Ensure parts are held firmly during the curing time. Check if the glue has expired or been stored improperly.
Nozzle is clogged.
Gently try to clear the nozzle with a pin or needle. If fully cured, a new bottle may be required.
Excess glue on visible surfaces.
Wipe away excess with a damp cloth or paper towel immediately after application, before it cures. For cured excess, carefully sand or scrape it away.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Low odor for a better user experience.
- Excellent penetration capabilities for tight joints.
- Cleans up easily with water before curing.
- Bonds a wide variety of hobby materials effectively.
- Provides strong and durable joints.
Cons
- Thin consistency requires careful application to prevent runs.
- May not be suitable for large surface areas where clamping is difficult.
- Requires good ventilation for prolonged use, despite being low odor.
- Shelf life can be affected by storage conditions.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure all surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease.
- Apply Super Phatic! sparingly to one surface. Its thin nature means a little goes a long way.
- Press the parts together firmly and hold for 10-30 seconds until a bond is formed. For difficult bonds, an accelerator can be used (sold separately).
Compatibility:
- Recommended for: Balsa wood, hardwood, plywood, GRP, plastic hinges, foam (e.g., polystyrene, depron), carbon fibre, and some plastics.
- Not recommended for: Porous materials where excessive soaking may occur, or surfaces that require gap-filling.
- Testing: Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility with specific materials.
Care:
- Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Keep the cap tightly sealed when not in use to prevent premature curing.
- Clean the nozzle after use if necessary.
- Use in a well-ventilated area.
- Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
