Been using cyanoacrylic adhesives since the 1970's and just found your video. 1. My initial use for cyanoacrylic adhesives was emergency on-field repairs of competition Free Flight model aircraft. Sticks balsa wood vey well. Later I used it for repairs of many things around the home. 2. Safety - ALWAYS wear eye protection when using cyanoacrylic adhesives. The low viscosity adhesives can and do easily fly off on tiny droplets in all directions. They will instantly cure in eyes and an Opthalmic Surgeon told me whenever he has to operate on cyanoacrylic adhesive in eyes it ALWAYS results in corneal damage. I have had cyanoacrylic adhesive in one eye but was wearing contact lenses at the time, so narrowly avoided corneal damage. Lens ruined of course. When using the accelerator DO NOT have your head over the top of the work piece, but well to one side. That is because when curing the adhesive gives off heat which vapourises some of the adhesive which if it gets into eyes, causes a lot of tearing and pain. 3. Handling with polythene gloves is a good idea and and small pieces of cling wrap will also work, especially if needing to hold pieces assembled while the adhesive cures. 4. Materials to bond. Cyanoacrylic adhesives will not adhere well to most metals though can be used to hold metal assemblies temporarily whilst doing some low stress machining operations. Cured adhesive can be removed from metal surfaces by prising off with a scalpel blade or single edged razor blade. Cyanoacrylic adhesives will bond ABS, PVC, TPE and Nylon plastics but will not bond polythene, polypropylene or acetals well, if at all. 5. When using cyanoacrylic adhesive I keep paper towel to hand to wipe off excess adhesive. As the adhesive will cure rapidly in the paper towel, take care with soak through to fingers and rising vapour into the eyes. 6. Freshly cured cyanoacrylic adhesive can be removed with acetone. A better solvent is a 50/50 mix of acetone and nitromethane (model engine glow fuel additive) which will remove all cured adhesive completely by rubbing or soaking.
Eastman's 910 was kept in a locked refrigerator at the shop I was assigned to in the early 1970s. It was the precursor to all of the other superglues. I first became aware of its properties when I dropped and broke my favorite coffee mug. Only then did I realize that there appeared to be other fracture lines from previous breakage that had been so expertly repaired they were almost invisible. The other men in the shop then confessed that my mug got knocked off the workbench and the handle broke off. They broke out the Eastman's 910 and fixed it before I got back from lunch.
I'm still in the research stage (code for still trying to figure out how to convince my wife that this is a worthwhile venture) of my beginning woodworking journey and seriously appreciate the detail in your videos. Seems like quite a few others have sort of forgotten what it's like to be a noob and take some stuff for granted. Thank you for taking the time. You really are a good example of what it means to be a great teacher.
Why would it not be worthwhile? I bet you could get pretty decently set up for $4,000. Get a combination jointer planer and a decent cabinet table saw and make your own router table for it. That'll leave you money left over for a standing station and a bunch of extras. I set up my shop out of the blue one day after watching too many woodworking videos and found out less than a year later a family member couldn't find anyone to finish their vacation cabin. Even at a great family discount I was able to make almost 20 grand working on it between jobs for a year.
I didn’t know it came in three viscosities and thought it had to be used with the accelerator. GREAT information here! Thank you so much for ANOTHER great video. I’m always ready to learn new things. 😀
You are very well spoken. You are enjoyable to listen to and to watch. All this and knowledge to back it up. I will happily incorporate my Starbond CA glue in more ways after having watched your presentation.
I am a beginner, getting all of my lessons online. Your lessons are invaluable and among the easiest to understand. You definitely have a knack for teaching! I feel like the tips you share in each lesson are helping me to start out with some professional "polish." They are things that a newbie can only pick up by working with a skilled mentor. I'm definitely going be using CA glue in some of my Christmas gift projects, from chess boards to small picture frames. Thanks again!
Works great for invisible crack repair. On gunstocks I first repair the crack if it is large or structural, with epoxy. Then use thin glue in the crack followed quickly with fine sanding paper filling the crack with fine dust. If it is small or cosmetic it is straight to the CA and sanding. A few applications using new sandpaper as it is ruined quickly, leaves an invisible repair that can be stained.
Here's mine: As soon as you pick up the glue, you are warming it up, causing the air inside to expand. There is usually a little left in the nozzle, which will then shoot out as soon as you uncap it. Unscrewing the nozzle slightly first will let this pressure out, then you can remove the cap without that bit oozing out. You can even give the bottle a little squeeze, so when you tighten the nozzle again, then let go, it sucks in the residue in the nozzle. The glue is very brittle, which can be helpful. For example, if you cannot unscrew the nozzle, just give it a little squeeze in some pliers. The plastic will squash, but the glue will crack, allowing it to then be unscrewed. If some spills, and you risk getting it on your hands or whatever, squirt a little water on the area... any glue there instantly hardens, so no more sticky risk.
Thanks for this. My husband and I are learning so much here! We have had the best time woodworking while home during the pandemic since March. My father left a few of his woodworking tools to me and I had no idea how involved woodworking is. I also didn’t realize how you can loose yourself for so long in woodworking that hours upon hours could go by and you have no idea how! Craftsmanship takes years! I’m ready! Let’s do this!
Thank you for this very informative video. Just started my first wood working project this Labor Day weekend and noticed that one of my 2x4 was cracked, I'm glad I have options other than using it just as a scrap piece. Thank you
Everything i needed to know in a concise delivery. Perhaps the best informative video in a given topic……. ever created…in the history of mankind. I thank you
I build & fly radio-control model airplanes & use CA extensively. There simply is no substitute, unless you wish to greatly extend building time. One factor that should be mentioned here is that unfortunately, some people (myself included) are allergic to the fumes. Therefore, adequate ventilation is an absolute must. I keep a small fan blowing across my work area anytime I'm using it.
I started using Eastman 910 CA glues in electro-mechanical production in the summer of 1968. Little has changed in the last 53 years. Excellent informative video.
For 30 years or so I've been very resistant to using anything other than traditional/ typical wood glue on my projects. As the world of carpentry and woodworking is constantly evolving with combining different materials together in a project, my stubbornness is beginning to finally be open to the idea. I'm glad i watched your video on this first. Your pragmatic approach seems quite helpful and i feel it is indeed time for me to begin recognizing when it is the right adhesive to use. Great delivery too. Thank you for sharing. Oh yeah.... and i dig the shirt! Big fan here of Willys Overland. Toledo native👍🏾🙏🏾
Good stuff. The only essential bit of info omitted is this: *wear safety goggles* when using CA. Get even one little itty bitty drop on your eyeball and you will remember it for the rest of your life. The water-thin stuff is the most hazardous.
Another amazing use of CA/super glue! Long story short…. I fixed my tire cut by glass using CA glue and drove from Akron Ohio to Denver Co and then had it plugged! Thanks for the video. It’ll sure help me with my burl piece!
I didn’t know there were different thicknesses of CA glue. Also, I’ve heard the word “accelerator” used when referring to CA glue before but didn’t know exactly what it meant. Great video! Thanks.
Have been using thin CA glue but never knew about medium or thick unless thick is also called gel. Understand a lot more about these products, so thanks.
I've been looking for this product in my local and nobody has it. I'm a wood sign Carver and to secure knots and cracks is why I need it. I heard about it from Eric at make a wed sign . Thank you for the offer.
I’ve used CA glue for all these applications. It does make a very good finish on small projects. I use it as a very durable finish on bottle stoppers that I turn on the lathe.
Well I found this long after that deadline but this is the first I ever found on CA glue information. It seems like even Lowes or HD employees know nothing (surprised?) about it. Thanks for posting this.
Good vid. Very clear esplanaticions of using this glue. Things are easy when people dont talk a hundred miles an hour trying to stuff alot things to say in a short amount of time or to say alot of nothing.
At 83 I can still learn! This video had information I didn;t know. I repaired a table top that had separated where it was originally glued. I tried to force it the crack squeezing the tube with the tip on the crack quockly moving along the 8 inch crack. I had pipe clamp in place and clamped it as fast as I could. That was 6 months ago and it is still holding. I cut the table top and installed it on my radial arm saw that is an unheated out building.
As a joiner I have used this glue for some years now but I didn’t know they were three types of glue and I see one you were using had a brown colour to it l have been using the saw dust to mix a filler but with pva thanks for your tips stay safe 👏👏👍
You're demonstration was very helpful, I hope to do them experiments to people I like to learn all the facts of the super glue. Thanks again for the all the information.
This is exactly the video I was looking for when I googled "what is ca glue". "Superglue" was pretty much Crazy glue to me forever. I'm working on a home shop project when CA glue came up, looks like I'm making a hardware store run. I've got all kinds of glue, just no thick CA.
Found your channel a few weeks ago. Please keep up the great videos. Love your simple, clear and instructive style. I would love the starter pack but needed some glue bad enough I just went to the link and bought it. Lastly I had no idea it came if different colors. I have only ever seen clear. Thanks for showing that little secret.
thanks for sharing. Some hopefully good info. my Daddy always had success with cement glue. Starting in the 70s I wasted many trips to stores and had many failures with crazy glue etc... i would begin preparing for a project, but the glue was always dried out. Very expensive. I actually would get better results from wood glue or even school glue.
wellmade vid and good suggestions for handling CA. When filling gaps/holes in wood use sanding dust of the piece to mix with the filling CA, looks better 😉
CA glue has replaced a lot of other glues for modeling projects that used to depend on standard wood glues or producets like "Amboid." The key to CA glue is the right variety to use. If the wood doesn't hold together well on it's on you need to use the thin or medium variety to get down into the wood better. This would seem to hold true with plywood exept that there is already glue between the plys of the wood so the best could expect is that perhaps CA glue might bond to the glue between the plywood layers.
I have always used “regular” glue. Gorilla glue is exotic to me. I kept hearing about CA glue and then found your video. Thanks. I will now try to catch up with the rest of the country. Johnny
Excellent video. I'm a pen turner, and spend most of my free time peeling off CA glue from my hands. My wife can't stand it! Often there's a layer of skin that comes off with the CA glue. I've tried gloves and am now trying those rubber fingertip covers, but they appear to stick to the glue and are one use items. Food prep gloves are something I never realized were different than reguilar medical type gloves. I'll give it a try. Thanks.

That’s what really need to fix, a couple of cracks, in my guitar, will save much money, and do it myself, I am amazed. Thanks kindly.

Thanks Josh, I never considered taping the bottle to empty the tip.
Glad you got a takeaway David. Thanks for the comment!
LOL this comment is what intrigued me to watch this video…
I was curious how taping the bottle would empty the tip…I guess words DO matter…LOL

I thank you
Thanks. BTW, very well done. Better than 99.5% of the content available on this platform
Appreciate that
Wow, dude, straight up information I can actually use. Thanks for this post. I'll be using a LOT less common wood glue in the future!
I have used CA for years on Modle planes. It was always in the freezer and always worked great on anything. Thanks for this video
Sir your delivery on explaining CA glue is exquisite. Clean, concise and to the point. Thank you.
I build & fly radio-control model airplanes & use CA extensively. There simply is no substitute, unless you wish to greatly extend building time. One factor that should be mentioned here is that unfortunately, some people (myself included) are allergic to the fumes. Therefore, adequate ventilation is an absolute must. I keep a small fan blowing across my work area anytime I'm using it.
This is the kind of video regarded as essential for anybody wanting to expand their knowledge on bonding.
THA is one of the best woodworking teaching channels out there. Always learn something new.
I started using Eastman 910 CA glues in electro-mechanical production in the summer of 1968. Little has changed in the last 53 years. Excellent informative video.
Wow, that is crazy! "Nothing new under the sun". :)

Oh yeah.... and i dig the shirt! Big fan here of Willys Overland. Toledo native👍🏾🙏🏾
Been using this typed of glue with a spray activator for about 20 years as an airline mechanic. Great stuff.
Awesome! You have one of my dream jobs. :)
@@TrainingHandsAcademy Thank you, I still love it like the first day I started it, 25 years ago 👌🏽
Good stuff. The only essential bit of info omitted is this: *wear safety goggles* when using CA. Get even one little itty bitty drop on your eyeball and you will remember it for the rest of your life. The water-thin stuff is the most hazardous.
Thanks for adding this info!
Another amazing use of CA/super glue! Long story short…. I fixed my tire cut by glass using CA glue and drove from Akron Ohio to Denver Co and then had it plugged!
Thanks for the video. It’ll sure help me with my burl piece!
Right on!
The idea of tapping the bottle is very helpful, as also is the use with painters tape to do the work of double sided tape
I didn’t know there were different thicknesses of CA glue. Also, I’ve heard the word “accelerator” used when referring to CA glue before but didn’t know exactly what it meant. Great video! Thanks.
Sure you did...I'm sure you've seen super glue 'gel'....
Have been using thin CA glue but never knew about medium or thick unless thick is also called gel. Understand a lot more about these products, so thanks.
Very helpful, especially the info on the three different viscosities. Thank you!
Great tips on how to store CA glue. Thanks for the great info! I didn't know there were 3 variations of viscosity.
Thanks this video. It has answered some questions I had about what thickness of CA glue to use for different applications thank you very much.
You are welcome!
The trick with the painters tape is very clever.
Thank you for being straightforward without any distractions. Well, done and informative. Thank you.
Much appreciated! If you want to support my work, please drop some more comments on my other videos! This helps to wake up the YT algorithms. :)

Great video! CA glue has ton of uses in the shop. I mostly use it to attach templates to wood so I can cut out shapes.
Good vid. Very clear esplanaticions of using this glue.
Things are easy when people dont talk a hundred miles an hour trying to stuff alot things to say in a short amount of time or to say alot of nothing.
I first used CA glue as a kid 45 years ago. It was miracle glue! Still is! An attribute you missed is its very light weight. Good for model aircraft.
Thanks for this quick and useful once-over. Very helpful.
The video explained a lot about CA that I did not know
GOOD VIDEO. Very informative. Even though I've used CA glue several times I learned several new bits of information. Useful information.
As a wood specialist, I found this to be Excellent advice.
Wow, this video was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for all the well explained info!
You are so welcome!
2nd this
Everything I never knew, and now that I'm in my 70s, I've got the knowledge, and nothing to use it on. Great video, thanks.
Thank you for the lesson CA. I just bought some and now I know how to use it.
very informative video. You learn something new every day and thanks for the opportunity
I have applied CA to folded paper. Two coats saturated the paper to create “plastic” parts for model making.
That is really cool!
At 83 I can still learn! This video had information I didn;t know. I repaired a table top that had separated where it was originally glued. I tried to force it the crack squeezing the tube with the tip on the crack quockly moving along the 8 inch crack. I had pipe clamp in place and clamped it as fast as I could.

What a blessing to be 83 and still learning and building stuff! Thanks for sharing betterlife68!
So strange because they JUST showed me how to work the glue along with the accelerator last week! Great timing! And it DOES work wonders. 🛠
Nice Carlos!
Great Information, thank you. By the way, I love your T-Shirt. Cool Willys.
Thanks for some great tips, the masking tape tip is a great one. I would never have thought you could do that.
Painter's tape. Never be without it!
- So glad that I found the Academy channel. Your info is ALWAYS relevant & concise. Thanx 4 sharing.
awesome video for the CA glue! Thank you for making this video!

Once you use it, you will love it!
I didn't know about the fridge trick, thanks!
Your tips were awesome. I learned a lot with this video.
Thanks for a great video. Another tip to offer - Since CA reacts to moisture, a simple accelerant is to just breath on it.
Great point!
Thought I knew all about CA but you told me several things I didn’t know.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Helped me greatly.
Just getting back into woodworking and being more serious about the 'end results'. Love your channel.
Thanks Rikki!
Correction at 3:02 "So how much does the accelerator "increase" the drying time?
Should be "decrease."
Nice video.
Yes sir you found it. Thanks for the comment.
One of the best explanations of a product usage I’ve seen 👍👍
Glad you think so!
Very clear, straightforward and valuable information.
I have never used it in my woodshop, but I will try it, first chance I get. Thanks.
THANKS FOR THE TIPS FOR THE CA GLUE. I WILL BE CHECKING OUT YOUR OTHER VISEOS AS WELL
Thank you for watching Timothy! Hit me up if you have questions.
Thanks Josh,
Lots of great advice in this video!

Great introduction to the topic and great tips - thanks for the video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I knew nothing, so you taught me a lot, haha. Great video!
Found your channel a few weeks ago. Please keep up the great videos. Love your simple, clear and instructive style. I would love the starter pack but needed some glue bad enough I just went to the link and bought it. Lastly I had no idea it came if different colors. I have only ever seen clear. Thanks for showing that little secret.
very helpful video. i have been using thin when i should have used medium or even thick. thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Geeze, I only knew half of this ! Thank You !
Great video. Fast, clear words, I learnt a lot.
One of the more useful UA-cam videos!
Thanks for the great tips! Haven't used CA glue in woodworking yet but I look forward to giving it a try!
Great video for a newbie to CA glue.

Thank you for all the tips I feel sure I will be utilising them in my wood working, ken from Australia.
Thanks Ken!
Excellent video. I'm a pen turner, and spend most of my free time peeling off CA glue from my hands. My wife can't stand it! Often there's a layer of skin that comes off with the CA glue. I've tried gloves and am now trying those rubber fingertip covers, but they appear to stick to the glue and are one use items. Food prep gloves are something I never realized were different than reguilar medical type gloves. I'll give it a try. Thanks.
Thanks for the comment Marc! Let me know how it goes.
Thank You very much !! Kinde regards from Switzerland !!!
Thank you too!
Thank you for the tip I’m looking for that glue thank you so much man
Never heard of using it as a finish. Definitely interested in giving the starter pack a try.
Commonly used when turning pens
Thanks it was very helpful best the end tapping Happy New Years
ya learn somethin every day ,,,, thanks from Australia
