. . . but of course he does! As the most popular CA (Cyanoacrylate) in the hobby world, you've got to have BSI's Insta-Cure and the renowned accelerator, Insta-set in your tool box too.
Adam mentions several times that he is yet to try a flexible CA. What Adam may not realize is that BSI also has several time-tested flexible CAs called, Insta-Flex, Insta-Flex+, and IC2000. These are all really important CA's for prop building and model making where shock resistance is a necessity. Adam also refers to our Insta-Set as the "Zip-Kicker," which he claims to love the smell of! Insta-Set speeds up the cure time exponentially. Super cool when you've got lots of gluing to do.
And for those "oops" moments BSI also makes Un-Cure — for when your fingers accidentally get glued together. As Adam mentions – it's just part of using CAs.
So, time to check out all these great products, and more from BSI!!

We are always delightfully surprised to see BSI Adhesives being used in new ways by new industries. Recently we received word that 3D Printing enthusiasts also love to use BSI Adhesives.
Frank Fox is one such enthusiast who went beyond just using our adhesives in his 3D printing projects to designing a special holder to keep BSI CA glue and Insta-Set bottles together as a set. Then he went on to design a holder to keep the BSI two-part epoxy bottles together. Genius!!
While working on 3D print projects, Fox tells us, "Sometimes it is easier to print a larger project in two or more parts. I learned that your CA glue is the highest recommended product for joining those parts back together. Especially when the parts are made using PLA plastic." After deciding to give BSI Insta-Cure+ a try he tells us, "I purchased both the CA glue and the quick set [Insta-Set] bottles. I can say that your glue has worked marvelous. I love how fast the glue sets once I spray the parts with quick set [Insta-Set]."
Fox's 3D plans can be downloaded on thingivers.com and are very popular, already being downloaded sixty times in the past two weeks!

Toni Ransfield is an Award Winning Polymer Clay Artist and an acknowledged pen maker, who was accepted into the Pen Makers Guild. Her Polymer Clay art has been seen all over the world through numerous publications.
She has been working with clay for very close to 30 years
now and is a wealth of knowledge for any artist working with Polymer Clay or Woodworking. In a recent article Toni writes,
"Polymer clay itself does not really need a coating, however due to the construction of the pen blanks (pen tubes), and the harsh and often abusive environment that pens are subjected it is preferred to have a treatment coat over the pen blanks (pen tubes) to help bond everything together and add strength. The pen blanks on the inside provides structural support and the coating on the outside provides a skin like mesh that prevents the cane slides from sheering off and causing a disaster to happen.
In the polymer clay community a number of products are used such as Varathane. However in the pen community we have a few options. Namely CA and Casting . . ."

"I LOVE your Maxi-Cure. My paint shop sold it to me to glue my old dining room chair seats together when they cracked open. But I've used it for so many things.
A student came to me nearly in tears when he broke something and I brought it into him the next day. It worked.
Then my dentures broke in half. I used it. I talked to a denture place and the woman freaked - it's toxic, you shouldn't use it. So I looked it up on your website. It ISN'T toxic. AND I can use it over and over again ... nothing else will ever do.
THANK YOU!" — Brenda M, Elliott Heads, Queensland AUSTRALIAWell, there you have it. From felt pads to dentures it is an unbeatable adhesive that you'll be glad to have on the kitchen shelf when something breaks and your next meal depends on it!
The drones used by the Defense Dept. that have become
so crucial in the War on Terror have their roots in model aircraft. So
naturally, many of these UAVs also rely on BSI, especially when repairs
are needed for the aircraft in such far away places as Iraq and
Afghanistan. Aerovironment has produced more UAVs than any other
company. In the field, their Raven, Wasp and Puma use BSI’s Super-Gold+
and Insta-Set. 
Lockheed-Martin has found BSI’s IC-2000 to be unmatched for use on their Desert Hawk UAS.
