I am hoping someone knows of a good place to buy (online) cyanoacrylate glue. I am sick of buying it for a high price and in small amounts in home depot. Any advise would be much appreciated.

I would recommend Hot Stuff. The 2 oz bottle can had for 8$; that`s the stuff we use at my work (aircraft interior fabrication).

Bob Smith of epoxy fame also makes a nice super glue that is widely available in better hobby stores. It's often private labeled but the bottles still look the same - purple top is the medium, green the debonder, can't remember the thin at the moment.

Anyway its often available where ever you are.

Thin is blue, and the extra thick is pink.

I've still got a pint left in the fridge...I had two, but I -really- shouldn't have stored them on their side....

A lot of luthiers buy from CPH Int'l, which is the Starbond brand - inexpensive, worked great, and they advertise in (and therefore support) Guitarmaker Magazine (ASIA). $30 per 16 oz bottle of thin, med, very thin, etc., plus it comes with a smaller 2 oz bottle. They also make medium black and med brown, which is handy or some repair jobs. The site is not set up for e-commerce, so call and place order, or pay another $2 per pint to order from one of their retailers/distributors.

Todd-
Which of their products do you use? (They have 12 types of CA!)

Thanks
John

I buy my CA from my local hobby shops. They have a huge variety, including debonder, and the black stuff. I try to buy from them any chance I get. I don't do model airplanes (any more), but it's nice to be able to get glues (i even get system 3 and/or zpoxy there), and basswood, balsa, small sheets of plywoods, and such. Occasionally even a handy tool or two.

Small shops like that are really struggling, and I don't want to see them close down.

I use the thin and med . They will also send you some bottles if you get the pint so you can dispense the stuff. I also use the small pipettes they include. They have great customer service. I don't think it would have worked with my thumb but I have used it for smaller nicks and cuts. Just don't use the activator .
