- In this video I break down the differences in CA glue (super glue) accelerators. Using a couple simple test to compare various types and brands of accelerators. Which brand do you use in your shop?

Good information Justin. We'll done.
Thanks for your support!
Can you believe Satellite City sent me here to watch this, even though it might potentially refer me to Mercury (or not, we'll see; I'd like to be a patron of Satellite). Truly amazing tech support wanting me to get the best results for my idiosyncratic use, even if it's with a competing product. I'm trying to avoid bubbles in large black CA inlay fill areas between shell shapes. Mercury not only causes least reaction overall, I believe it's less expensive. I'll go back and look at other factors. I'm dying to give SC my business after that help tho, and NCA Quick would probably avoid big bubbles about as well.
Both companies were absolutely great to work with. I still use satellite city products for the most part. Mercury does have some CA glue products that SC does not carry. I also tend to use the NCF Quick for most applications. The only times I do not is when I absolutely do not want bubbles or I want a bit longer cure time. Even though NCF quick doesn't always get the bubbles, I like to play it safe. The mercury adhesives accelerator is great, but I really don't like the smell, and it seems to stick around for a long time. I could see some people being fond of the smell, though.
At the beginning of the video you mentioned how quickly CA glue glues fingers together because of their moisture content. I was hoping you would try water.
That's a really good point. It would of been interesting to test using water since pH affects the cure time of the glue. So, theoretically, alkaline water should dry the glue much faster than acidic water.
