Product Information
Full details
This guide is for anyone needing a fast and effective adhesive, especially those working with small cracks or needing to bond non-porous materials. Charnwood Ultra Thin Cyanoacrylate offers rapid bonding, making it ideal for quick repairs and intricate work. However, remember that the bond is strongest after 24 hours, even though it sets quickly. This product is a very low viscosity cyanoacrylate adhesive, perfect for wicking into cracks and providing a strong, permanent bond.

FAQs
What materials can I use this adhesive on?
It works well on non-porous and low-porosity materials, wood, and some plastics. It is excellent for wicking into cracks.
How long does it take for the adhesive to set?
It sets in 3-15 seconds, but full cure is achieved after 24 hours.
How should I store the adhesive?
Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally at +5 degrees C, away from warmth and direct sunlight.
What is the shelf life?
It has a shelf life of 1 year after opening.
Can I speed up the drying time?
Yes, you can use CA-UK Activator for Superglues to reduce the drying time to less than 2 seconds.
How much adhesive should I use?
Apply a small amount. The ultra-thin viscosity allows it to wick into the area, so less is often more.
Do I need to clamp the pieces together?
Clamping is recommended for the best results, especially when repairing cracks or bonding larger items. Hold the pieces together for 3-15 seconds initially.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive isn't bonding.
Ensure surfaces are clean and dry. Make sure you are using enough adhesive. Consider clamping the pieces together for a longer time.
Adhesive dries too slowly.
Apply a thinner layer. Use CA-UK Activator for Superglues to speed up the drying process.
Nozzle is clogged.
Carefully clean the nozzle with a pin or needle. If the nozzle is damaged, replace it.
