Bob Smith Industries (BSI) Instant-Set CA Accelerator Foam Safe Pump Spray (BSI-151H)

I firstly heard about this particular product from a vintage radio restorer on YouTube who uses typical super glue (Cyanoacrylate) to repair hairline cracks in Bakelite cased radios but only when the damage is not visible to the eye such as the cabinet interior. Anyway my interest in how he approached repairing a Bakelite crack with cyanoacrylate was piqued when he presented a pump bottle of the BSI 'curing' accelerator and after a quick spray onto the glued region effectively set the super glue within around 20 seconds and the repair was then complete. Afterwards I thought about the possibilities of using this cyanoacrylate curing spray and how useful it would be in my electronic servicing work. As I tend to use super glue quite often in relevant situations I often get annoyed at how long the glue takes to bond two materials, usually plastics in my case and sometimes the necessity to hold two surfaces together with my hand/s until the glue eventually 'takes'. Fairly recently I decided to order the 'Bob Smith Industries Instant-Set CA Accelerator' on Amazon, the price of which was very reasonable and within a week it, (along with a couple of other items I'd ordered at the same time), arrived at my home and that evening I went about effecting a repair using super glue followed by a light spray with the BSI Instant-Set Cyanoacrylate Accelerator. Well I was very impressed with how quickly the spray cured and hardened the glue after application and I felt the end repair result was more akin to a fix using 2 part epoxy as the accelerator spray seemed to made the cyanoacrylate cure 'harder' other than just curing on its own. Highly recommend the Bob Smith Industries Instant-Set CA Accelerator Spray.

This stuff makes working with CA adhesives incredible. You no longer have to hold a slower bond CA in place until it sets, just a little sprits, and it’s cured, instantly.

I’ve used this with two different CA glues. It truly does harden the glue within seconds. It was perfect for strengthening the tabs on my motorcycle fairings too, so now I can take the fairings off with no fear of breaking.

Because sometimes you need something stuck real fast, does exactly what is supposed to.

Insta set is an understatement. Sets Supe Glue well. Whoever invented my hats off to them
