TotalBoat TotalBond CA Glue
- Fast cure with industrial strength bond strength for a wide variety of applications
- Great for dissimilar or tough-to-bond surfaces
- Available in Thin, Medium, and Thick viscosities to support different applications and substrate textures
- TotalBoat TotalBond Accelerator component increases the cure speed of TotalBond CA adhesives
TotalBoat TotalBond CA Glue is a line of premium, high-quality cyanoacrylate adhesives that provide fast-setting, permanent bonds between many different materials. TotalBond CA Glue comes in three different viscosities to cover any project needs.
Compatible Substrates
Wood, cardboard, ceramic, rubber, various plastics, metals, leather, and more
Note
Each viscosity is catered to different substrates. See the APPLICATION DATA chart below.
Cleanup
Acetone, nail polish remover. These solvents may permanently damage certain substrates.
Viscosity Options Available
- THIN: Fast cure formula, great for applications requiring penetration and flow.
- MEDIUM: Fast cure, surface-insensitive formula is great for bonding rough, porous, or acidic substrates.
- THICK: Extended working time, great for bonding rough or irregular surfaces.
Personal Safety
Always use proper Personal Protective Equipment when using any TotalBoat product. Refer to the specific TotalBoat TotalBond Safety Data Sheet for more info.
Surface Preparation
- Bond surfaces should be dry and completely free of any dust, dirt, grease, wax, oils, or wax.
- When possible, abrade surfaces that are to be bonded with 220- or 320-grit sandpaper. Remove any sanding residue prior to applying TotalBond.
- If any surface preparation solvents are used to clean the surface, they must be completely evaporated prior to applying TotalBond.
Application
NOTE: If the TotalBoat TotalBond Accelerator is being used, follow the APPLICATION WITH ACCELERATOR instructions below.
- Apply TotalBond CA glue over 50°F. Below 50°F the cure rates may be slowed dramatically.
- Have all tools, clamps, or glue-spreading tools handy because the glue will set very quickly.
- For small bond surfaces, apply a single drop of TotalBoat TotalBond to one of the prepared bond surfaces. Mate and align the bond surfaces as quickly as possible and apply pressure.
- For larger bond areas, quickly apply drops every ½” to 1” to one of the prepared bond surfaces. Mate and align the two bond surfaces quickly and apply pressure to the bond surface.
- Hold or clamp the bond surface tight for 15-45 seconds (based on the cure times in the APPLICATION DATA chart below)
- Full cure strength takes 24 hours.
- For applications where a thicker bond gap is present, the cure time may be extended.
Application with Accelerator
Accelerating TotalBond CA Glue after it was applied (Preferred to ensure best bond):
- Apply TotalBond CA Glue to the bond surfaces or parts being bonded.
- Mate to the bond surfaces with a fair amount of pressure.
- Immediately apply Spray TotalBond Accelerator over the exposed CA glue joint until sufficiently cured.
Surface Application Method:
- Prior to applying TotalBond CA glue, a thin but even film of TotalBoat TotalBond Accelerator should be applied to one of the bond surfaces. Do not apply enough Accelerator to create dripping or sagging.
- Allow the solvent to evaporate for about 25 seconds.
- Apply TotalBond CA Glue as soon as the solvent has evaporated (within 45 seconds of applying the Accelerator)
- If this window of 45 seconds from applying the Accelerator has been missed, reapply the Accelerator.
