Product Details
- Adhesive type: Super-thin cyanoacrylate (CA)
- Container size: 1oz bottle
- Application: Tight-fitting joints, balsa, and porous materials
- Cure time: Approximately 1 to 3 seconds on tight-fitting joints

How to Use
Unscrew the top from the nozzle and use the extender tip when you need a finer application. Hold the parts together, then apply Insta-Cure along the joint edges so the adhesive can wick into the seam. Wipe the nozzle clean before replacing the cap. Refrigeration can extend shelf life, and the extender tip can be soaked in acetone for cleaning.
