TotalBoat TotalBond Black CA Glue
- Fast cure with a rubber-toughened, industrial-strength bond
- Improved tolerance to vibration and shock loads
- Quickly cures to a low-sheen black finish
- Medium viscosity allows for a wide range of uses
- Excellent chemical resistance
TotalBond Black CA Glue is a rubber-toughened instant adhesive designed for clean repairs on dark wood and materials. Medium viscosity for a wide range of uses. It cures quickly, is easy to sand flush, and works with a wide range of materials. Formulated for flexibility and shock-resistance, this super glue is ideal for fast repairs, building RCs and models, or filling gaps and inlays in woodworking, turning, hobby builds, home repairs, and shop projects.
COMPATIBLE SUBSTRATES: Wood, MDF, cardboard, ceramic, porcelain, glass, nitrile, neoprene, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), various plastics, metals, leather, composites, and more
CLEANUP: Acetone, nail polish remover - Caution: These solvents may permanently damage some substrates
PERSONAL SAFETY: Always use proper Personal Protective Equipment when using any TotalBoat product. Refer to the TotalBoat TotalBond Black CA Glue 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 Black CA Glue.
- 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, see APPLICATION WITH ACCELERATOR instructions below.
- Apply TotalBond Black 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 TotalBond Black CA Glue 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 1/2" 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 10-100 seconds based upon the substrate material. Follow the cure times/fixture times in the APPLICATION DATA chart below.
- Full cure strength takes 24 hours.
- For applications where the maximum bond gap is present, the cure time may be extended longer than 24 hours.
Application with Accelerator
Accelerating TotalBond Black CA Glue after it was applied (Preferred to ensure best bond):
- Apply TotalBond Black 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 Black CA Glue, a thin but even film of 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 Black 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
