Cyanoacrylate Glue Activator

Cyanoacrylate glue is designed to adhere as soon as it comes into contact with moisture in the air. However, an activator can be very useful in certain cases:

• Speed up curing: Depending on the thickness of the adhesive and the application conditions, curing can be slow. The activator speeds up this process considerably.
• Fast bonding: In situations where instant bonding is required, such as for quick repairs or model parts, the activator ensures a fast, reliable bond.
• Increased bond strength: The activator boosts adhesive power, making the assembly stronger and more durable.
• Bonding in difficult conditions: In dry or low-humidity environments, the adhesive may take longer to harden. The activator is therefore highly effective in ensuring a strong bond.

Although activator is not required for most domestic uses, it becomes an indispensable asset when speed, strength or specific conditions are crucial.

The activator can be sprayed on before or after applying the adhesive, but it is often more effective to apply it to the surface to be bonded before applying the adhesive. This technique allows the adhesive to harden almost immediately, minimising waiting times.

Contents: 30 ml cyanoacrylate glue activator.

Important safety precautions:

• Use in a well-ventilated area.
• Avoid breathing vapours.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• Contains ethanol; do not spray near flames.
• Keep out of direct sunlight, in a cool place (max. 50°C).
• Keep away from sources of ignition; do not smoke during use.

Caution: may alter painted surfaces.

Uses :

• Accelerating bonding: Its main function is to accelerate the hardening of the adhesive. By applying the activator to the surfaces to be bonded, the waiting time for complete bonding is reduced, an invaluable advantage for modellers handling fine, detailed parts.
• Joint reinforcement: Ensures fast, durable attachment of parts, essential for the stability of complex models.
• Facilitates assembly: The activator simplifies the assembly of small components, limiting alignment errors.

Benefits for modelling :

• Saves time: The activator reduces assembly time, particularly for small, delicate parts such as Warhammer elements.
• Improved adhesion: Ensures strong, durable bonds, essential for the structural integrity of the model.
• Precise application: Thanks to its spray nozzle, the activator only touches the areas intended for bonding, which is ideal for miniature and complex components.

All in all, this activator is an indispensable tool in the world of miniatures and model making, speeding up bonding, strengthening fixings and making it easier to assemble parts.
