Product overview

AK Flash is an aerosol accelerator for cyanoacrylate glue, used when a joint needs to fix without prolonged holding. Lightly spray it onto the assembled joint, or apply it beforehand to one of the mating parts, to speed the adhesive's curing process from seconds to virtually instantaneous. The spray format distributes the activator evenly across the target area, making it suited to small or fragile parts, detailed work and joints in difficult-to-reach locations. Apply sparingly, particularly around painted or finished surfaces.

Flash accelerates cyanoacrylate adhesive; it is not an adhesive on its own.
The aerosol provides uniform application across the treated area.
It can be applied to an assembled joint or beforehand to one of the two parts.
Excessive application may cause whitening or leave a matt finish.
The accelerator may affect delicate paints or finishes.

Notes · Q & A

When do I use plastic cement instead of super glue?

Use plastic cement on polystyrene kits — it melts the surfaces and welds them into one piece, which is stronger than any surface bond. Use super glue for resin, metal, and gluing dissimilar materials that cement can't chemically fuse.

What's the difference between thin and thick plastic cement?

Thin, capillary cement is watered into an already-fitted seam and flows along it by wicking. Thick cement is brushed on before assembly and gives a little working time to position parts. Many modellers keep both for different jobs.

How do I stop super glue frosting clear parts and detail?

CA fumes leave a white haze on nearby surfaces, so keep it well away from canopies and lenses. Use PVA or a specialist canopy glue for clear parts, and let CA cure with airflow rather than trapped in an enclosed space.

What does a super glue activator actually do?

Activator cures CA on contact, useful for gap-free instant bonds or setting a part you can't clamp. The trade-off is a more brittle joint and possible frosting, so use it sparingly rather than on every join.
