I LOVE your Maxi-Cure! — Super Glue That Is SUPER

Maxi-Cure™ Adhesive from BSI

It is no surprise that our customers can't get enough BSI Maxi-Cure™ adhesive. It is so versatile and effective on so many materials that its uses seem limitless. In fact, I just used it last week to glue felt pads back onto the surface of the nail-on slider glide pads of my barstools. As I hammered them in a few of the felt pads came unglued. Maxi-Cure did the trick and was much stronger than what they were first glued on with. I keep it handy in my kitchen cabinet, where all useful tools should be!

What Have You Used Maxi-Cure™ For? 

Or should I say, what haven't you used it for! Today, we received an email from a customer Down Under. One might say she's a bit of Maxi-Cure evangelist and we love it. Expressing deep gratitude to BSI she says,
"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 AUSTRALIA
Well, 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!

Bonding Photo Etched Parts - BSI Super Thin Super Glue

Photo Etched (PE) brass and steel parts are now a common feature of many model kits. Some kits are made entirely from these materials. They reproduce small details that injected molded plastics just can’t duplicate with sufficient strength and consistency. In many cases these detail parts are so small bonding them can be a challenge. The application of too much adhesive can ruin the detailed scale effect.

Insta-cure CA - BSI Adhesives

During the construction of one such kit, the Jasmine Model 1/144 scale SR-71 Blackbird, we discovered why the U.S. importer (Engineer Hobbies) recommends BSI’s Insta-Cure super thin CA for assembly of the parts. While holding the metal parts together, one small drop of Insta-Cure penetrates a joint to produce an almost instantaneous, nearly invisible bond with amazing strength.

There are several tools available on the market for applying small amounts of CA. We tried several during the construction of the Blackbird, but we found what works best and is the easiest to clean is a craft stylus/embossing tool. The small metal ball machined into the end of the tool, when dipped into the thin CA, will transfer the majority of the CA on it when it touches a metal joint.

For some PE kits, like the Imperial Shuttle and Empire State Building made by Metal Earth, small tabs are either bent or twisted to hold parts together. We have found these tabs work good 95% of the time, but for the other 5%, a small drop of our Maxi-Cure and Insta-Set applied to the tab secures the joint with the desired rigidity.

3-D Printed Parts are Using Super Glue - BSI Super Glue

In the September 2016 issue of the Experimental Aircraft Association's Sport Aviation magazine, Carol and Brian Carpenter discuss the post-processing of 3-D printed parts. In the section that addresses the repair of these parts, they state "Super glue is another medium we've used quite extensively on all of the different types of plastic material. If applied to the sanding dust during the curing process, it will create a strong joint that is also very sandable. However, we have found much better results using the hobby shop type super glue for model airplanes over the more generic super glues found at the hardware store."

Super Glue - 3-D Printed Parts - Cyanoacrylate - BSI Adhesives BSI makes the number one selling super glues (cyanoacrylates, CA) that are sold in hobby stores.

Best All-Around Household Glue

Q: What is your best all-around household glue?     – S. Levine , Brooklyn, NY

Maxi-Cure - Cyanoacrylate - CA - household glue - BSI - Glue
A:  If you were to buy only one BSI product, Maxi-Cure cyanoacrylate (CA) would have the most universal use. Its extra thickness makes it easier to use. Some would argue that Insta- Cure+ would be a better choice since it will bond a little faster, but it is not as thick. Your best choice for a second
