Product Information
Full details
The Expo 47025 Thick Grade Super Glue is designed for hobbyists and model makers who need a reliable adhesive for detailed work. Its key benefit is a fast setting time of 10-12 seconds, allowing for quick assembly of plastic models, RC cars, and other detailed kits. A potential caveat is that its thick grade may require careful application to avoid excess on delicate parts.

FAQs
What is the typical setting time for this glue?
The Expo 47025 Thick Grade Super Glue typically sets in 10-12 seconds.
Can this glue be used on LEGO bricks?

Is this glue suitable for repairing RC car parts?
Yes, it is ideal for repairing plastic components on RC cars due to its quick setting and strong bond.
What is the volume of glue in the container?
The container holds 50g of thick grade super glue.
How should I store the glue to maximize its shelf life?
Store in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly sealed to prevent air exposure and drying.
Can this glue be used on metal parts?
Yes, it can bond metal parts effectively, provided they are clean and dry.
What should I do if I get glue on my skin?
Wash immediately with soap and water. If bonding is significant, soak in warm, soapy water and gently peel.
Troubleshooting
Glue is not bonding effectively.
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of oil or dust. The surfaces may also be non-porous, requiring a more rapid application or slight roughening of one surface. Check if the glue has expired or dried out in the bottle.
Glue is too thick to apply precisely.
Gently warm the bottle in warm water for a few minutes to reduce viscosity. Alternatively, use a fine applicator tool or a toothpick to apply the glue precisely to the desired area.
Bond is brittle or cracks under stress.
This glue is designed for rigid bonds. For parts that experience significant flexing or impact, a more flexible adhesive might be required. Ensure the correct surfaces are being bonded, as some plastics may not bond well with cyanoacrylate adhesives.
Skin bonding occurs.
Act quickly. Soak the bonded area in warm, soapy water and gently peel or roll the skin apart. Do not force. Nail polish remover (acetone) can help dissolve the glue but use with caution and test on a small area first if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No setup is required. Ensure the surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease for optimal adhesion. Apply a small amount of glue to one surface.
Compatibility: This glue is suitable for use with a wide range of materials including plastics, metals, rubber, and ceramics. It is specifically recommended for hobbyist applications involving brands such as Scalextric, Hornby, LEGO, Sylvanian Families, and Tamiya RC cars. It is generally not recommended for use on styrofoam (polystyrene foam) or natural fabrics.
Care: Store the glue in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent drying out. Keep out of reach of children and pets. If skin contact occurs, wash immediately with soap and water. For eye contact, rinse thoroughly and seek medical advice.
