clovis Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Sorry to be such a newb. If I use a hair dryer to help dry CA glue faster, will it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobthehobbyguy Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Super glue reacts to moisture not heat. Sometimes I will blow over something to get moisture to get it to set faster. FYI there are no dumb questions unless you ask the same question a second time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Better to ask a question and feel you're a fool for a minute than to never ask and feel you're a fool forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detailstymied Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 if i'm stressing over an assembly, i'll touch it with ACC and then hold it up to the incandescent bulb on the left side of the hobby desk. usually helps, but it's more of a symbolic offering to the Hobby Gods than anything else.

cobraman Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Why not just use an accelerator ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Why not just use an accelerator ? Tried it once. It attacked/crazed the surrounding plastic. No more of that for me, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzTom Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I use accelerator just about every time I use ca glue and have never had an issue. I might add I use ca glue just about every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Anderson Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Tried it once. It attacked/crazed the surrounding plastic. No more of that for me, thanks. BSI InstaSet to the rescue here! That accelerator absolutely does NOT attack any of the plastics used in model kits! It won't even harm paint or decals--been using the stuff since it first came out in 1985. BSI: Bob Smith Industries. Stocked in many hobby shops that carry CA glues, and work with Great Planes Distributors (Hobbico). Or, you can get it direct from Tower Hobbies. I won't use any other accelerator. Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
