The Essential Complement for Your Adhesives
Cyanoacrylate is one of the most widely used adhesives today due to its bonding strength and speed. However, to reach its full potential, it's essential to use an activator. This is where the Ammo by Mig Cyanoacrylate Activator takes centre stage, becoming an indispensable ally in the toolbox of professionals and hobbyists.
What is Cyanoacrylate Activator and Why Do You Need It?
Cyanoacrylate activator is specially formulated to accelerate the drying of cyanoacrylate glue. By applying it, the waiting time is significantly reduced, allowing the glued surfaces to adhere more effectively and quickly. This speed in the gluing process is especially useful in situations where time is crucial or when working with materials that would normally take longer to adhere.
One of the main advantages of this activator is it allows cyanoacrylate to set almost immediately. Forget about waiting long minutes (or even hours) for your glue to dry. With this activator, the process is almost immediate.
It's compatible with a wide range of cyanoacrylate adhesives, which means you don't need to look for a specific activator for every type of CA glue in your inventory.
By speeding up the curing process, the cyanoacrylate activator also enhances the bond strength of the adhesive, ensuring more durable and wear-resistant bonds.
Materials Compatibility Guide
Perfect For:
Modeling Applications:
| Material Type | Effectiveness | Recommended Technique |
|---|---|---|
| Plastic | Excellent | Apply activator first, then glue |
| Metal | Very Good | Apply activator after glue for best results |
| Wood | Good | Lightly spray activator on both surfaces |
| Resin | Excellent | Apply activator first for porous resins |
| Photoetch Parts | Very Good | Apply glue then mist with activator |
| Clear Parts | Good (Use Caution) | Apply very small amount to avoid fogging |
💡 Professional Application Tips
Optimal Distance: Hold the spray approximately 20-25cm from the surface to ensure even distribution without oversaturation.
Less is More: A light mist is usually sufficient. Excessive application can weaken the bond or cause white residue.
Ventilation: Always use in a well-ventilated area as the fumes can be strong.
Strategic Application: For joining parts with gaps, apply the CA glue first, then spray the activator to instantly fill and bond the gap.
Precision Application: For extremely small areas, apply the activator to a toothpick and touch it precisely where needed.
Application Methods
| Method | When to Use | Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-Application | When working with porous materials | Faster absorption and setting |
| Post-Application | For most general applications | More control over positioning |
| Precision Application | For small or delicate parts | Minimizes excess and waste |
| Gap Filling | For joining parts with slight gaps | Creates stronger bonds across gaps |
Frequently Asked Questions
The activator should be used with caution on painted surfaces as it may affect some paints. Test on a small area first or apply the activator before the glue to minimize contact with painted areas.
The activator evaporates fairly quickly, so it's best to apply the cyanoacrylate glue within 1-2 minutes after spraying the activator for optimal results.
Yes, Ammo by Mig Activator is formulated to work with all standard cyanoacrylate adhesives regardless of brand.
Without activator, CA glue might take 30-60 seconds to initially set. With activator, setting occurs almost instantly (1-3 seconds).
