View · Overview

Product overview

AK Black Widow forms cyanoacrylate joints with added flexibility from rubber particles. It is intended for metal, rubber and plastic parts, and AK's application guide specifically uses the black adhesive for joining photo-etched components without soldering. Its longer positioning window than the fast AK12015 type suits joints that benefit from more working time. Apply a small amount to clean mating surfaces, bring the parts together and maintain light pressure while the initial bond forms.

  • Shake well before use, as instructed on the bottle.
  • Dispense the adhesive onto card and transfer it with an applicator, toothpick or fine wire.
  • AK states a gap-filling capacity of 0.15 mm.
  • The black adhesive dries to what AK describes as a practically matt finish, assisting subsequent painting.
  • Applying more adhesive does not guarantee a stronger joint and can make setting more difficult.

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.
