What is Low Odor or Foam Friendly CA?

Low Odor CA is a modified CA that produces very low odor and blooming. This product works great if you are sensitive to the CA fumes or are working with foam. Standard CA will attack most foam while the modified low odor M100F and M1000F CA is very foam compatible. Of course you should always test the product on a small non-visible area of your project before using any products on foam. This product, by its chemistry, is not as surface insensitive as regular Mercury CA so an accelerator like the popular Mercury MH16 may be needed. Surface insensitive simply means it will require more hydroxy ions, or water than other products. Some substrates, such as foam, have very low water content so an accelerator like Mercury MH16 is recommended. remember to test all CA products prior o using and only use small amounts for the best results.
