ASK CA Glue Thick (husté) for 3D Print 20g

Art Scale ASK CA Glue Thick for 3D printing, 20 g

A thick cyanoacrylate (CA) glue from the manufacturer Art Scale, intended for gluing 3D printed parts — cured resin as well as common print plastics. Compared with the thin version it has a markedly higher viscosity: it stays where you put it, does not run down the part and fills even a gap between surfaces that do not meet quite precisely. At the same time the joint does not grab instantly, so you have a short moment to fine-tune the position of the part before you fix it with a squeeze. A 20 g package in a bottle with an application tip.

Use

• Apply a small amount to one of the mating surfaces, bring the parts together and hold them firmly for a few seconds until the joint sets.
• Ideal for larger or less precise parts, repairs and building up — the higher viscosity fills small gaps.
• It suits cases where you need time to position a part and a thin glue would escape into the seam before you have aligned it.
• The surface must be dry, degreased and free of dust from sanding or of uncured resin residue.
• It is not suitable for expanded polystyrene, polyethylene, PTFE or silicone.
• Excess glue can be sanded away once cured; cured CA is hard and sands well.

Who it is for

For modelers working with 3D prints who need a reliable joint even where the parts do not fit quite perfectly — on larger parts, repairs, attaching accessories or gluing onto a very small mating surface. A thick CA is the logical counterpart to the thin version: thin for precise joints, thick for gaps and for more time to position a part.

Safety: cyanoacrylate bonds skin and fingers instantly and is dangerous to the eyes. Work in a well-ventilated area, protect your eyes and hands and do not breathe the fumes. Keep out of the reach of children and store the bottle cool and well closed.
