BOB SMITH INDUSTRIES (32)

Insta-Cure™ Super Glue from Bob Smith Industries is a fast-acting cyanoacrylate adhesive with an ultra-thin viscosity, designed for precision bonding in tight-fitting joints. Its water-like consistency allows it to wick deep into seams through capillary action, making it perfect for woodworkers, model builders, and hobbyists needing a quick, reliable bond. Insta-Cure™ cures in just seconds, forming strong, lasting joints that go beyond surface adhesion—especially effective with porous materials like balsa wood. For best results, hold parts tightly together while applying the glue around the edges of the joint. Fast-Acting Adhesion with Deep Penetration Insta-Cure™ excels in applications where tight joints and quick bonding are essential. Its thin formula seeps deeply into porous surfaces like balsa wood, creating a bond that is both strong and long-lasting. The adhesive sets in seconds, speeding up assembly times for modelers and craftsmen alike. While its vapor may cause minor irritation, its performance and precision make it a top choice for serious hobbyists. Whether you're repairing models or crafting intricate wood structures, Insta-Cure™ ensures clean, gap-free results with minimal effort. Features Ultra-thin, water-like viscosity Wicks into joints via capillary action Cures in just seconds Ideal for tight-fitting seams Perfect for balsa wood and other porous materials Creates deep, strong bonds beyond surface level Fast-drying for efficient assembly Can cause mild eye or nose irritation from vapor

Replacement top that is on all of BSI's non-Pocket CAs. Tops can be soaked in acetone overnight to remove any buildup of CA on the inside and outside of the nozzle.

IC-LOC™ Blue is a medium thickness, medium strength threadlock that is applied to the threads of fasteners before assembly. Once the IC-LOC Blue™ is cured, the fasteners can be disassembled with standard hand tools if required. Works Good On Threads of fasteners Bolts Screws Nuts Directions Shake well, then apply IC-LOC™ Blue to the clean and dry threaded areas before assembling non-plastic parts. Product sets in 10 minutes, with full cure within 24 hours. IC-LOC™ Blue is anaerobic and cures in the absence of air, which occurs when a bolt, screw or nut is tightened. IC-LOC™ Blue prevents loosening of fasteners from normal use and vibration, but parts can still be disassembled with hand tools. IC-LOC™ Blue seals and prevents rusting of threads. Cured temperature range is -60° to +300°F (-51° to +149°C). Remove residue with a damp cloth.

SUPER-GOLD™ Thin and SUPER-GOLD+™ gap filling medium thickness are our odorless foam safe CAs. They are non-frosting and take only 2 or 3 seconds longer to bond compared to Insta-Cure and Insta-Cure+. There are no fumes that irritate the nose and eyes. The SUPER-GOLD™’s do not attack white foam; therefore, they can be used in the building of foam core wings and the assembly and repair of plastic and foam ARF’s. They will not fog clear plastic. SUPER-GOLD+™ is ideal for attaching clear canopies in plastic model kits; however, MAXI-CURE™ is still recommended for assembling the rest of plastic kits. Wood can be bonded to white foam with SUPER-GOLD +™ in less than fifteen seconds. For bonding foam to foam, spray a very light fog of INSTA-SET™ to one piece and apply SUPER-GOLD+™ to the other before joining. Excess INSTA-SET™ may create too much heat, which can melt the foam. Both SUPER-GOLD™’s cure to a more flexible consistency for better shock absorbtion. Whenever a large amount of CA is to be used in such applications as saturating fiberglass or Kevlar, SUPER-GOLD™ eliminates the irritating fumes from the evaporating monomer that make repeated use of CA unpleasant at times. Works Best On Rubber White Foam Works Good On Balsa Wood Soft Wood Hard Wood Glass & Metal Fiberglass Ceramics Hard Plastics Laminating Water-Resistant Reinforcing CA Hinges Directions Unscrew top from nozzle. For finer applications, use the extender tip. Apply Super-Gold+™ CA to one side of the parts being joined, then hold them tightly together for 5-15 seconds. For larger bonding areas, apply serpentine beads of the CA with enough spacing to allow for the spreading ofthe adhesive. Insta-Set™ accelerator must be used when bonding two pieces of foam together. Full strength is reached in three hours. Wipe the nozzle clean before replacing screw-on top. Refrigerate to extend shelf life. Cured CA is stable from -40 to 220° F. Soak extender tip in acetone for cleaning.

Features Ideal for the mounting of rubber tires onto R/C car wheels. It is available in our 3/4 oz Pocket CA bottle. ULTRA CURE can be used in many other applications that require a slightly thicker than CA and will bond virtually everything.

QUIK-CURE™ 5 min. epoxy cures to a slightly flexible consistency. This lack of brittleness allows it to form a lasting bond in areas subjected to high vibration or stress. QUIK-CURE™ shouldn’t be used in areas that are subject to long-term immersion in water; however, it works fine for the internal structure of wood framed boats. QUIKCURE™ is our only epoxy on which you can apply polyester resins. It can be mixed with microballoons to form a quick setting putty. Items bonded with QUIK-CURE™ can be handled after 15 minutes. Full strength is reached in 1 hour. Works Best On Hard Wood Glass & Metal Works Good On Balsa Wood Soft Wood Fiberglass Ceramics Hard Plastics White Foam Reinforcing Directions QUIK-CURE™ 5 min. Epoxy is an equal two-part hobby adhesive that forms high strength bonds through a chemical reaction between the resin and hardener. The cured epoxy is resistant to most chemicals. QUIK-CURE™ is the least temperature sensitive of our epoxies. It will cure in temperatures down to 40˚F. Temperatures above 90˚F shorten the working time before the epoxy begins to set up from 5 to less than 4 minutes. QUIK-CURE™ bonds best to clean, textured surfaces. Smooth, non-porous surfaces should be roughened with coarse sandpaper to improve adhesion. Acetone and Isopropyl rubbing alcohol work as the best solvents for cleaning uncured epoxy from surfaces. QUIK-CURE’S™ lack of brittleness allows it to form lasting bonds on materials as different as balsa wood and glass; however, it is not recommended for areas subject to long-term immersion in water. Cured QUIK-CURE™ can be coated with polyester resin without affecting the curing of the resin. Full cure in less than 15 minutes.
