DIY Super Glue Accelerant Strength Test

- Here's a strength test of two DIY super glue accelerants. 70% isopropyl alcohol and a water and baking soda mixture can accelerate the curing of super glue, but how strong are the resulting bonds?

I've found that using the DIY activator on the exterior after the pieces are put together works much better. The baking soda solution leaves residue in your joints thereby causing the weakness. Same with the alcohol. It works well, just not the way you've done it.
superglue is suspended in a weak acid. the isoprop mixed with bicarb the bicarb cancelation of the acid and your bonding will be stronger
Exactly the video I was looking for, thank you!
I wonder how the commercially available accelerators would compare in this test
Ammonia 💁🏻♂️. Also, I think using water and baking soda as a true solution, as opposed to a mixture, would possibly yield better results. Just one man's opinion. Thanks for the vid. 🤘
Maybe the isopropyl alcohol works better wood allowing the cyanoacrylate to better mate those surfaces. I’ve had good results building up a surface repair with CA and dry baking soda. Haven’t tried water with baking soda and I’m not sure why that would chemically be a good choice. Epoxy trends to be a better choice with heard flat surfaces in my experience.
Yeah... isopropyl alcohol works better on wood but still not as strong as plain super glue. Baking soda and water was suggested by many viewers. Just curious and experimenting in my garage. Thanks for mentioning epoxy... I've used JB Weld epoxy on metal pieces in the past and the bond was very strong. Maybe epoxy will be a future video... LOL

@@HacksbyDad JB weld is surprisingly good stuff. Though best results are when you rough up the mating surfaces. Keep up the good work I’ll be tuning in.
@@BrunoSkiba Thanks! Appreciate the feedback! 👍
99% alcohol + baking soda 50:1 mix. Crazy Glue/Super Glue/CA Glue is acid, Baking soda is alkaline, when the two mix the CA glue sets. You use alcohol as the medium becaue it evaperoates quickly. If bonding metal you need to rough the surfaces first.
👍🏻 Interesting! Could it be that _the way you apply the accelerant_ makes a difference? For example, i would expect distinctly different results from ..
➊ applying accelerant to opposite surface of glued surface.
➋ applying accelerant to glued surface before joining second surface.
➌ joining both surfaces with glue alone, then applying accelerant to overspill of glue.
Thanks! I might try this for a future video. 😎
The one you missed is alcohol and baking soda. That's the winner.
Interesting… are you talking about a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and baking soda? 🤔
@@HacksbyDad yup
@@mr.boniato6402 I just might give that a try. Thanks! 😎
@@HacksbyDad about 1 cup of isopropyl alcohol to 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Try 1/4 see how it behaves, then add more from there.. too much baking soda could leave residue.
@@mr.boniato6402 You read my mind! I was wondering how much of each to use in the mix. Thanks! 😎
I thought baking soda made things stronger. Huh. Maybe different for wood or other porous surfaces?
