Ca glue activator

[stevethefish]

Yeah, I don't see anything, either.

In my experience, I've only used Tamiya's activator. You don't spray it, but rather brush it on. In my experience, while it does cause the CA glue to set faster, the activator not only gives the contact area a frosty white color, but the bond is not very sturdy. Rather brittle, in fact. I'm not impressed.

CA glue just really pisses me off at times. Sometimes it glues way too fast, while other times it's practically like water. Then I touch it and it sticks rapidly to my skin, but still won't do anything to the plastic.

I've never heard of Tamiya CA activator, do you know what does it contains or do you have SDS of it?

I use BSI activator but never spray it. I use a dropper or small brush to apply it.

İ've tried refrigerant spray (aka freeze spray) it didn't work but i've found a great 400 ml spray activator in a local store,which is very cheap and effective, they sell it as a spare part, it worked with all my CA glues. Issue has solved for me.

Found this which gives a much better explanation than I attempted.
