ZAP Glues
Zap-A-Gap Medium Viscosity CA+ - Gap Filler (0.5oz) (Green Label)
Provides Superior Gap filling formula - the green label Zap-A-Gap (medium viscosity) cures, on average 20 seconds, after part placement (allow for 7 -10 seconds for part positioning).
Is not limited by oily surfaces and works best on harder woods like bass and spruce. Some uses include; jewelry manufacturing and repair, taxidermy, pool cue tips, darts, archery, knife making, mold and pattern making, furniture refinishing and antique repair, and for fishing, fly line splicing and fly tying.
Wood turners and manufactures of custom wood products appreciate the ability of ZAP-A-GAP CA+ to help save their projects by filling in and bonding cracks that often occur in expensive hard woods.
FEATURES Superior penetrating formula Bonds and cures in 1 to 5 seconds Strengthen fibreglass and cloth Super thin penetrating formula with water-like consistency.
The ZAP PT-03 Zap-A-Gap CA+ Medium Viscosity glue is designed for hobbyists, craftspeople, and professionals who need a reliable adhesive for filling gaps and bonding various materials, especially harder woods. Its key benefit is its superior gap-filling formula and fast curing time, allowing for quick project completion. A potential caveat is its water-like consistency, which requires careful application to avoid dripping.

FAQs
What is the cure time for ZAP PT-03?
The glue bonds and cures rapidly, typically within 1 to 5 seconds after part placement, with an allowance of 7-10 seconds for initial positioning.
Can this glue be used on oily surfaces?
Yes, ZAP-A-GAP CA+ is formulated to work well even on oily surfaces, which is one of its key advantages.
What is the difference between the green and other colored labels of ZAP-A-GAP?
The green label indicates medium viscosity, designed for gap-filling. Other colors typically represent different viscosities (e.g., thinner or thicker).
How should I store ZAP PT-03?
Store the glue in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly sealed to prevent it from curing inside the bottle.
Is ZAP PT-03 suitable for all types of wood?
It works best on harder woods like bass and spruce. While it bonds other woods, its gap-filling and bonding properties are most appreciated on dense hardwoods.
Can I use an accelerator with ZAP PT-03?
Yes, using an accelerator like ZAP Zip Kicker can further speed up the curing process, especially useful in low humidity or for very quick bonding needs.
How do I clean up uncured glue?
Wipe away any uncured glue immediately with a damp cloth. Once cured, it is extremely difficult to remove.
Troubleshooting
Glue not bonding quickly
Ensure surfaces are clean and dry. For difficult surfaces or faster cure, consider using ZAP Zip Kicker accelerator.
Glue runs or drips excessively
Apply a smaller amount of glue. If needed for larger gaps, consider a thicker viscosity ZAP glue or use a wick-and-kick method with Zip Kicker.
Nozzle clogs
Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use. If clogged, carefully try to clear with a fine needle or pin.
Skin bonding
Do not pull bonded skin apart. Soak in warm, soapy water or use a specialized glue debonder. Avoid prolonged contact.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Excellent gap-filling capabilities for repairs and construction.
Fast curing time speeds up project completion.
Adheres well to oily surfaces and various hard woods.
Versatile for numerous hobbies, crafts, and professional uses.
Helps save projects by bonding cracks in wood.
Cons
Water-like consistency may require careful handling to prevent drips.
Fast cure time leaves little room for error in positioning.
May not be ideal for very large gaps where a thicker adhesive is preferred.
Requires proper ventilation due to its chemical nature.
Effectiveness can vary on very soft or porous materials.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease.
Apply a small amount of ZAP PT-03 to one surface. Due to its thinness, use sparingly.
Press parts together immediately and hold for 5-10 seconds to allow initial bonding.
Full cure will occur within seconds, but avoid stressing the bond for at least a few minutes.
Compatibility:
Works best on harder woods (bass, spruce), metals, plastics, fiberglass, and rubber.
Can be used on slightly oily surfaces.
For even faster curing, consider using with ZAP Zip Kicker accelerator.
Care:
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Keep the cap tightly sealed when not in use to prevent premature curing.
Clean up any excess uncured glue immediately with a damp cloth. Cured glue is very difficult to remove.
Avoid prolonged skin contact. Wear gloves during application.
