My god! Someone who actually has something worthwhile to share. This is what you tube was meant to be, not the unfunny crap that i see daily. Thank-you for the video. Keep it up. A new subscriber.
Thank you for your comment, in this video I only touched on a handful of applications for water-thin Cyanoacrylate and accelerator, there are hundreds more that I've used in my work as an inventor, designer and manufacturer for the last 50-years! David Riddle
But he doesn't know what pH is!
Now I know what a Salami angle is. 😂 No, for real, good knowledge!
@@stevengockij5841Do you!? I guess we'll never know! Mr. Riddle would have explained why. However, you are not as thorough! And your comment is exactly what the internet was NOT made for. 🤣🤷🏼♂️😉
FYI , UA-cam is a free speech platform. Stop complaining, but then , please do !
This s a brillint video, and this is why: NO MUSIC !!! Unique, rare, extremely useful information presented clearly and cocisely. Bravo!
A thousand times yes!
there should be a no music tube
Thank you for your comment and accolades! David Riddle
No music, no intro, right to the point, and well written.
Indeed.. many UA-cam presenters waste our time with excessive use of unnecessary words and expressions, like "Literally" "necessarily" "from the get-go" etc, or waste time inserting unrelated funny video clips or comments and jokes about what they ate that morning, or stolen mail, or rabid dogs, LOL... this video is concise, to the point, with valuable information ... adding wasteful stuff to UA-cam videos affects us, it reminds me of when Steve Jobs forced engineers to speed up boot up times of the first Apple computer, his logic being that if they were able to shave 10 seconds off of the boot time, multiplied by millions of users every day, that would save billions of seconds over time, thus saving human lives... so, Thank You Mr. How to Home Life for saving 10 seconds of our lives!!! :-)
Seeing that you are an eyeglass wearer I thought I might add one problem I had when using CA during model aircraft making. I was working without ventilation but was aware of the fumes arising from the joints that I was making. It was sometime later that I realised my glasses were getting a bit blurry and it took me a while to establish that the fumes were reacting with anti-glare coating on the plastic lenses. So, one and all, as stated keep CA away from your skin but also don't get too close to the work if you wear glasses. Great video though and pleased to subscribe, we can always improve with learning.
Thank you for your comment and suggestions. David Riddle
It reacts with eyeballs as well.
Use ventilation or go outside.
For over 20 years, I worked for a company that utilized CA for alignment of precision optical components. I found your video chock-full of excellent tips. The one thing that I'd like to add is to take note of 'use by' dates on bottles and take them seriously. It was always tempting to use expired CA and it often appeared to work fine. However, we found failures much more likely when using expired product.
Can CA be put in the fridge?
@@mach1553 Yes, we stored our CA in ziploc bags that we kept in a small refrigerator specifically for CA and some epoxies. It did seem to help the shelf life for us.
Excellent video, solid info, no bs!
@@mach1553 The video says to store the CA in the freezer to extend shelf life.
CA and optical components? I call BS - CA will leave white residue everywhere, epoxy is the way to go here.
I'm also a 40 year user and have researched the properties well in my shop, for my hobbies, and for my job. I can tell that you are a real expert, and there aren't many of us left! Just a couple of things I have learned that you probably already know. *Accelerator reduces the overall strength and increases brittleness slightly. I don't use it unless I need an instant cure *Very tiny amounts of kicker (accelerator) are all that's needed to start the polymerization process. The CA only needs a "sniff" of the kicker, and not wetting down. * Polymerization can travel, so hard to reach places can be sprayed nearby or skipped and the polymerization will travel an inch to unreachable places. * Carbon fiber, Kevlar, and fiberglass fabric and chop have a very strong affinity to CA and you can make very strong parts, fillets, and braces from it! Good video, thanks!
Thank you for your comment, Accelerator does indeed slightly reduce the strength of cyanoacrylate, but when working with wood, most types typically contain tannic acid, so the accelerator is necessary. Please view our other videos, more to come soon! David Riddle

thanks for the info but what do you mean by "not many of us left"? I teach new makers all the time. I am in awe of the talent and inspiration they bring, growing crafts and creating new ones: wood working, leather, silversmithing, ceramics, 3D design and creation. I do appreciation the ingenuity and skill of older craftsman, Like those that made my Atlas bandsaw and Bailey style planes and Excalibur scrollsaw. Addding a couple of resin and FDM printers, a CNC router, and CO2 laser to my shop helps us continue the tradition I believe you are referencing. IF so, makers are a very strong, growing community.
@@johnagorman You're a very wise man, and there aren't many of us left!
@@johnagorman sooo...when are your "makers" gonna build themselves a cool catamaran, or ecohome, or functional ebike, or, or, or...as is REALLY needed by so-called "makers". dang whipporsnappers!! :-)))) ok, I'm an old "maker", and I'm just not seein' that much comin' out of those "maker" shops (6/2024), do you, really?? I've built all I've written, and there's LOTS to be. Here's a thing...here in S. FL, USA, there's LOTS of old "makers" (really old :-))) but the interest of the young, who really should be the new generation of "makers", simply shows little interest, in a world of little screen-watching. Seriously, its an insidious-problem, no, wherever YOU are, or consider a "hot-bed" of "makers". I sure wish they'd create "maker-classes" in all Schooling! Like when "shop" was the most-fun HS-class of all, right? That's my prayer, to save a whole youth generation BEFORE its...too late? wadyasdink?
One thing that I learned is a necessary thing to have along side of CA glue is acetone. This is the best cleaner that i have found to use for CA. Part of my job includes gluing in small magnets with CA, its almost impossible to keep off my hands. I keep a squeeze bottle of acetone to prevent and sometimes free my hands from the glue.
Maybe wearing a suitable pair of gloves will help you with that...
@@paulodelima2966 gloves don't allow for the delicate work that i'm doing. otherwise i would absolutely use them.
I would be nervous using acetone as a hand cleaner on a regular basis. It's known for being able to dissolve other chemicals and carry them through your skin.
@@Nighthawkinlight I wasn't aware of its ability to carry chemicals thru through skin. After seeing women use it for years to clean nail polish, I figured it wasn't unsafe for skin contact. Thanks for the info.

I hated super glue. I now realize I just didn’t know how to use it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, mister.
Thank you for your comment, so glad I could help. David Riddle
This video has to be the best and most informative I have ever seen on UA-cam. This is how I make my custom o-rings to size. The CA adheres to the neoprene so well the it lasts a lifetime of the rubber. Good luck with your inventing ways fella too. Peace v
Not uncommon even in military apps IIRC. Oring shelved in spools. Cut to fit and joined with cyanoacrylate.
Best description of CA glue I've ever seen! Thank you.
Thank you for your comment and accolades! David Riddle
Thank you, Mr. Riddle. I've ordered BSI CA and accelerator, and the Teflon tubing based on this convincing demonstration. The explanation of the baking soda and its uses was also news to me. I'm sure it will come in handy some day. By the way, it's a mortise and tenon joint, not tendon.

I have been using CA glue for many years, all makes & viscosity's. I keep mine in the refrigerator, I have had some in the fridge now for what must be 5 years & it is still very usable. It has probably thickened in that time from thin CA to around a medium CA, but still very usable. Baking powder works very well as a filler, you can also use ground down graphite from a pencil or from a AA battery. Cement powder also gives a very strong joint as well, but I have not used the cement method myself.
Thank you for your comment and suggestions. David Riddle
Been using CA Glue since I was a kid. Learned the BAKING SODA TECHNIQUE, but didn't know why, this is the only video that explained it properly! Thanks!
Thank you for your comment, accolades, and you're welcome! David Riddle
I gave up on CA glue many years ago only to come back to it when I started to see some of these techniques via youtube. I use it for plastics that should not work, and woodworking and even metals, all with great success. I have even repaired torn cloth items.
Thank you for your comment and suggestions, I also have utilized CA in all the items you listed and many more! David Riddle
Thank you. I was looking for it for years, and didn't know where to find it in the USA. Your complete presentation is a blessing! ❤

Excelent video, really helps anyone interested in understanding how CA works! Thank you so much for sharing it!
Thank you for your comment and accolades! David Riddle
Wow- I had no idea about the different thicknesses of the glue AND the way to keep it from clogging. It's amazing to see the wood fibers just suck it up. Thanks so much for the detailed instruction!
Thank you for your comments, and stay tuned for more videos about my many uses for CA! David Riddle
Yep, I could see the wood sucking it up and I knew it was going to be a strong joint. I've always stayed with the thicker CA glues. Never thought about it wicking.

This is an excellent video and I thank you for posting it. I use CA in my work every day and understand much of its principals and viscosities, however, your video is a nice refresher. I often use CA with bone dust to fill guitar string nuts that have been filed or worn too deep, allowing the slot to be re-cut when replacement of the nut is not an option. CA holds loose frets in place, readheres loose bindings and laminates, fills voids in finishes and countless other things. Thanks again for your videos.
Thank you for your comment, and accolades! I have also repaired and restored many guitars using CA. Please view our other videos, more to come soon! David Riddle
Okay the part I missed was after you make the ptfe tubing dispenser nozzle, what do you do with it to store on a workstation? Do you pull the ptfe tubing out and put factory cap back on?
Next the tubing extension into the bottle has to have minimal volume to cover tubing to dispense out of the primary CA bottle.
I am looking at this for a workstation for power hand tools and a better method to apply and perform repairs to damaged label adhesive and plastic type screw holes when they get stripped threads.
Thanks for your tips and methodologies.

That 2 x 4 demo was astounding. I could see this technique as very useful for furniture repair where it would be a major project to disassemble the piece to make the repair.
Thank you for your comment, in this video I only touched on a handful of applications for water-thin Cyanoacrylate and accelerator, there are hundreds more that I've used in my work as an inventor, designer and manufacturer for the last 50-years! As far as furniture repair; I've repaired hundreds of wobbly wooden chairs and cabinets with separated joinery by clamping the legs and joints tightly together and orienting the chair or cabinet so that gravity and capillary action allows the joints to be saturated with cyanoacrylate letting the wood fibers absorb this glue and then I use accelerator to fully cure the the joint. Please see my other videos for additional techniques. David Riddle
Just a note on using CA glue for furniture repair. Thin CA glue can be very tricky for use on furniture repair because it soaks into the fibers everywhere it touches. As a result, you would have to sand deep into the wood to remove the CA adhesive from areas where it is not needed/wanted. Why does this matter? Well, in furniture repair you typically stain and finished the repaired area to match the rest of the furniture. Anywhere CA glue has absorbed into the wood will prevent stain and finish from being absorbed. As a result, you end up with a finish that never matches and will never match the original finish-if the finish takes at all.
In the example he did with the 2x4s, the entire area where the 2x4s meet wouldn’t be able to properly be finished (regardless of what type of finish you use-oil, hard wax oil, lacquer, varnish, shellac, wax, etc) because the wood has been saturated with CA glue which has been cured. With wood glue, you can wipe up the glue from areas where it isn’t needed/wanted and because it’s not thin, very little of it wicks into the fibers. Therefore, once the glue dries, you can give the area a quick sanding and wood is ready for finish. Of course, the downside is that wood glue is not “instant” and requires clamping, but as far as strength, I would say it’s just as strong if not stronger than CA, without ruining the potential for a proper finish.
@@augievelasquez831 Right, good point! CA is not that great for fine furniture repairs. If you can confine it to deep mortises and braces that are out of sight, it's OK. You have to avoid getting it on the finished surfaces. Once you get it on fine wood, it's impossible to remove and it will show and spoil the surface.
Thank you for the information!!! Awesome

Thank you for your comment, and accolades and you're welcome. David Riddle
Wow. Never knew that baking soda could do that! This might be my new drill fill drill method!
Superglue and baking soda are certainly cheaper and easier to use than two part epoxy for small jobs.
It's my go to for CA gluing. But out in the field, any alkaline powder can do similar duty. Wood ash or even cigarette ash being the usual suspects.

That's the exact bottle I prefer to use for my projects, BSI super thin, and I love the tube idea inside. That being said, I wanted to know how you seal the bottle for storage with the tube inserted?
Also, 2 side notes:
I didn't realize a few years ago, just how aggravating those fumes could be to my lungs. I didn't wear any PPE while using the CA glue with paper towels, and the next day ended up in the hospital from coughing blood. Luckily it wasn't permanent damage, just irritated throat and lungs, and after about 24 hours it cleared up, but I could have easily ended up with bronchitis or pneumonia from it. I ALWAYS wear a mask now when using CA.
And second note - If you use a lot of CA for projects, I highly recommend BSI's Debonder. It works great to reverse the CA bonding (not only for your parts, but for fingers as well). Just note that some plastics will also break down with the debonder. If you don't have the debonder available, while not as good, Acetone (nail polish remover) will work in a pinch.
Thanks for the video, very helpful, and can't wait to try some of your techniques to improve my CA gluing projects.
Thank you for your comment and suggestions. David Riddle
This is one of my few comments. I work (play) with epoxy and a cnc machine. I was truly impressed with the info presented and maybe to even a greater degree your presentation. The only thing I’d like to add is I have allergies to many products I use. A good respirator helps in many applications. I tried using what yo use before seeing your video. Accelerator nearly killed me! However, I found the thicker glue works just fine and the curing time while , yes of course, isn’t as fast it still cures quick enough for all my work so far and I can keep on breathing! I especially like to use it with the taping method of attaching material for carving on my cnc machine. The glue sets up before I’m ready to carve even if it’s only a minute. Thanks again Tim

Thank you for your comment.! David Riddle
Besides keeping it in the freezer for storage do you remove the Teflon tube or just leave it uncovered? Seems like it would harden if left uncovered.
Thank you for your comment and question, since cyanoacrylate is an anaerobic cement, it doesn't seed to be sealed! David Riddle

Dont forget debonder, good to have a bottle on hand just in case of accident.
The debonder or solvent is key when you need an undo and no one seems to know about it
I remember when dentists used sterile versions of CA in dentistry. My sister in the late 70s to early 90s worked for the Consumer product safety administration. She would enter accidents into their data base. One accident was a guy working at a repair shop was repairing a fishing rod with CA and he got CA all over his hands. The phone rang and he picked up the phone. Then after the call he realized the phone receiver was glued to one hand and the fishing rod was glued to the other hand lol.

I've been using CA as long as it's been around, but always under the guideline of 'Not for porous material'.
Your experimentation has opened this 70 yr old's eyes & mind to the possibilities.
I've experimented much more w/ epoxy over the decades & have found very quick setting epoxy to be equivalent to tack welding.
I use yellow mesh dry wall tape, wore out Scotch Brite, (washed w/ 100% alcohol), for fiberglass like repairs & use mixing containers I can easily peel dried epoxy out of, chop it up & use it to fill large voids to minimize epoxy consumption
I also save non-contaminated grindings & tailings from plastics, brass, cast iron, rubber, you name it, to make custom 'JB Weld' for clean looking, strong repairs.
I've been impressed w/ the same brand of CA supplies you recommend & use them exclusively. I do have a fondness & specific uses for their black RC car tire repair formula.
I'm sub'd & will be chk your vids out, over time.
Regards,
GeoD
PS
I remember my 1st shop teacher in 7th grade telling us we could tell a good glue joint when the cut joint didn't fail, but the material, itself, fails. Just like your tobyfore butt joint.
How smooth was the end cut surface?
Did you sand or flatten/chk for flatness/fit the mating surfaces?
I imagine air gaps would contribute to failure/weakness.

@@HowToHomeLife Thanks... I'll go watch it.
Oh, yeah... I went to Amazon to get the PTFE tube & a 2oz bottle of CA; all they had was 4oz.
Do you know if the nozzles of the 4oz will work w/ that specific size of tube?
Or, have found empty 2oz bottles to fill from a larger bottle?
FYI
I just ordered some 'new' 2 part acrylic adhesive from China via Ali Express to test drive. From what I read it's different than epoxy. At < 2.00, it's worth the gamble. I find some very good things this way.

With the Teflon tube in place, how do you seal the glue bottle after use?
Answers to questions video: ua-cam.com/video/TleKYRDrgu0/v-deo.html
Just a quick note:
The CA glue we use for wound binding is a different formulation than that used in the world at large.
Using a plain CA glue in a wound can lead to more damage by exothermic reaction. The death of cells required for wound healing will slow healing, encourage infection and lead to scarring (that's why we don't use iodine-based antiseptics in wounds anymore).
Also, the wound is approximated FIRST then the glue applied.
We don't drop the Histocryl™ into the wound and then pull it together.
I am one for 'make do' treatments when in remote locations but not when a Drs surgery or hospital is nearby.

Great info.. My process is to use both TiteBond and CA.. The CA forms a quick bond but the TiteBond makes it last.. even in wet environments
Thank you for your comment and I understand your process in making it more weather resistant. In this video I only touched on a handful of applications for water-thin Cyanoacrylate and accelerator, there are hundreds more that I've used in my work as an inventor, designer and manufacturer for the last 50-years! The reason I exclusively utilize cyanoacrylate in woodworking is the fact that it soaks in 10-times deeper and binds the wood fibers into a matrix like fiber-glass and epoxy or concrete and rebar. Please see my other videos for additional techniques. David Riddle
Actually, the worst possible joint in wood would be end grain to end grain
There's a video somewhere on UA-cam where this is tested (with regular wood glue) and the joints were surprisingly strong.
How do you store your bottle with the Teflon tubing inserted?
That's what I thought

Thanks for an excellent video. However, the links in the description are incomplete and do not take me to the sources. I am not sure if others are having the same experience.
The links are not showing up in the description please go to Amazon and search the following terms:
"Bob Smith Super Thin Insta-Cure Glue 2oz Bottle"

Here's another use for CA, bowling ball repair. Today's bowling balls can cost $200 or more, and they tend to get chipped easily. Put CA glue on the hole to fill it, and spray the accelerator on the CA. It will harden like a rock, and then file the knob down to the surface. You will then have to sand it to make it blend with the surface. It's easier to do on a ball spinner, but you can get just as good results with an electric sander. BTW, I learned how to do this working in a bowling pro shop. Ask your pro shop how they repair dings in balls and they will tell you that's the method used.

Learning something every day , thanx for sharing..
Informative, clear, and to the point. Look forward to more videos from you.
Thank you for your comment accolades! More videos coming soon, David Riddle
I have tried cheaper (for that, read dollar store) CA glues before and I was always disappointed. However, I recently brought some decent CA gel glue, plus accelerator and the stuff is amazing, sticks everything and holds under challenging conditions. Your tips only serve to make this material even more useful, great job!
Thank you for your comment and suggestion. David Riddle
Thanks for the great vid, probably the best I’ve seen on UA-cam regarding super glue!, I’ve always gone for mid to thick glue as “ big is best”….. plus I’ve never been impressed by it…. obviously I’ve been doing it wrong for years! great stuff ta!

So I was getting ready to try CA + accelerator for the first time on a small but important (to me) wood project coming up and by accident run into your vids of CA tips and tricks. To cut to the chase, I don't have enough life left to have begun to figure out even a few of the most basic of your tips with only (I'm sure) less than reasonable results on the project. Thanks a bunch! Please keep adding to the CA tips and tricks vids...
Don't get any on fine wood surfaces you want to look good. It's impossible to remove because it soaks in and leaves a stain in the wood. Also, go very light on the accelerator, just a sniff is all you need and it makes your project stink for days.

I used to install and fabricate granite countertops and we use this same stuff to glue seams or chips back in, it worked good. It would bust the granite before it let go. I’ve used it to glue my skin abrasion/cuts back together and worked like a charm. One time when we had a new employee start and he had no idea what it was I told him put in thumb and pointer finger together and I applied a small amount of the blue water thin bain ca glue and said hold it for 2 seconds. Then told him try to separate your fingers. It was super funny, but with acetone I was able to undo it.

Wow, what a great tip about the tubing to dispense! Always frustrated with clogged bottles
Thank you for your comment, I also was frustrated with clogged bottles until I tried 24AWG Teflon tubing and it worked perfectly and I could see the cyanoacrylate through the tubing before it was dispensed! David Riddle
@@HowToHomeLife …and if it clogs just pull it out and replace. Brilliant!
Absolutely brilliant. I always have trouble with Superglue and prefer almost anything else. Your video changes that and re-inspires me. I just hope I can get the materials ok (tube/thin CA and Activator) in Indonesia. Liked, subscribed and eagerly anticipating viewing the rest of your channel. Thanks

When CA first came out, we in aerospace machining used a product called Eastman 910 to make temporary setups. Glue a couple 1-2-3 blocks or a block to a plate etc. for instant tooling. When the job's done we tap it with a plastic mallet and clean it with a razor blade. That was before we found out about acetone.
Thank you for your comment, Eastman 910 was the earliest commercial sale of cyanoacrylate. I've also used CA in my machine shop for fixturing and templating components for drilling, I've always heated the components before breaking them free. David Riddle
I learned alot from this vid - thank you so much for sharing! But that LectricLites beacon really caught my eye. If you have stories to tell about it, I'd _love_ to hear 'em!
Great video. I enjoyed every minute of it. I've used CA glue before and would run into issues with controlling the flow of glue and the dam nozzle clogging. I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel. I also subscribed. Thanks for the awesome information. I'm going to amazon to get the glue as we speak.
Thank you for your comment, accolades, and subscription, please let me know how my techniques work for you! David Riddle
Excellent advice shared and in return I would like to share a little too
As an older craftsman a word of advice
When using these methods take the extra precautions of wearing gloves as over time the compounds are absorbed into your skin leading to Arthritis and a host of diseases of the skin. Also a mask to protect against fumes that can cause stomach problems.
I say this from real life experience. Some people can get away with neglecting this but actually it gets you eventually believe me.
I have used some techniques similar to Dave’s over the years but unfortunately had no luck with rubber
Thank you Dave and take care
Thank you for your comment and suggestions, they are all good ones. David Riddle

A comparison between the thin ca glue and 700 cps ca glue bonding wood would be nice! And the different techniques for glueing with the two would be helpful. I was thinking about buying a 16 oz bottle of 700 cps for wood projects, mostly pine. But i think i couldnt use it up before it would go to waste. A discussion of area glued to ounces of glue on wood ( even a vague estimate) would help. And further discussion of accelerators, and exothermic reactions and the chemistry of cotton etc would be great! Thanks for a great video, i learned a lot!

I attempted to glue rubber and plastic recently and was disappointed by drying time and gave up , good to know there is an accelerator
Many thanks for an excellent, informative and concise video.
By the way unless it's different over there (I'm in the UK) - it's a mortice and tenon (not tendon) joint.
Generally I've found superglue to be very expensive and may be out of the question for large joints etc.
I've used the glue and soda technique for a while now and would recommend it.
Thank you for your comment, and correction, sometimes my mouth is ahead of my brain! My time is much more expensive than CA, plus impatient to complete my many projects! Please view our other videos, more to come soon! David Riddle
