IC-2000 from Bob Smith Industries is a black, rubber-toughened cyanoacrylate adhesive in a 1/2 oz bottle. It is made for modelers and R/C builders who need a flexible, shock-resistant bond on non-porous materials.
Why Builders Use It
The rubber toughening adds flexibility, so joints absorb impact instead of cracking. It bonds metals, fiberglass, rubber, carbon fiber and other advanced materials, and it is a longtime favorite for R/C car tires.

How to Use
Application
Screw on the top and cap unit to puncture the tube seal. Remove the cap, apply IC-2000 to one side of the parts, then hold them tightly together for 10 to 25 seconds. For larger areas, apply serpentine beads so the adhesive can spread. For maximum flexibility, use without an accelerator.
Care and Storage
Wipe the nozzle clean before replacing the screw-on top. Refrigerate to extend shelf life. The top and tip can be soaked in acetone for cleaning.
