Product Description
Starbond Medium Super Glue is a multipurpose cyanoacrylate adhesive with an oil-like consistency that balances controlled application with useful penetration. It flows into narrow slots and fills small gaps up to 0.006 inch, making it a versatile choice for RC model assembly, repairs, close-fitting joints, and general workshop use.

The Versatile Middle Ground Between Thin and Thick CA
Medium CA provides more control and small-gap filling ability than thin CA while flowing more easily than a thick formula. The included microtips help place small amounts precisely around model parts, narrow slots, and other confined areas.
Recommended Application Method
1
Prepare the surfaces. Make sure the parts are clean, dry, and properly fitted. Lightly scuff very smooth bonding surfaces when appropriate.
2
Select the applicator. Use the standard nozzle for a controlled bead or install a microtip for confined and precision work.
3
Apply sparingly. Place a small amount on one surface, join the parts accurately, and avoid adding unnecessary adhesive.
4
Hold until set. Keep the joint aligned and undisturbed while the initial bond forms; use accelerator only when faster curing is needed.
RC and Workshop Applications
Model Assembly: General bonding of close-fitting and lightly gapped parts
Narrow Slots: Controlled penetration where thin CA may flow too quickly
Balsa and Plywood: Building and repairing wood model structures
Printed and Plastic Parts: Assembly of compatible 3D-printed and molded components
RC Tires and General Repairs: Securing compatible rubber tires and completing routine workshop repairs
Material Compatibility: Medium CA is best for rigid or close-fitting joints. Test it on scrap material before use because cyanoacrylate may damage certain foams, plastics, or finishes. It is not a substitute for
Foam-Tac on flexible EPP airframe joints.
Choose the Right Viscosity: Medium CA handles small gaps and provides more placement control than a water-thin formula. Choose
thin CA for capillary wicking into tightly fitted joints or
thick CA for larger gaps and uneven surfaces.
Important Safety and Storage: Cyanoacrylate adhesive bonds skin and eyes rapidly. Use with eye protection and adequate ventilation, keep away from children, and avoid contact with cotton or wool because a rapid heat reaction may occur. Wipe the nozzle clean, replace the pin cap after use, and store the bottle upright in a cool location.
