Purpose

Make fast, strong bonds on hard materials — and close some minor skin splits in a pinch.

Used in kits

Alternatives

  • Two-part epoxyStronger and gap-filling; slower to set.

Maintenance notes

  • Single-use tubes avoid the dried-out-cap problem; store cool.

Buying considerations

  • A gel formula is easier to place on vertical surfaces.
  • A tiny accelerator can set it instantly for hobby work.

⚠️ Safety notes

  • Bonds skin instantly and gives off irritating fumes — use with ventilation and keep it off fingers and eyes.
