Not all substrates are created equally, some substrates, like foam have very low moisture content. Some substrates like light-ply have high alkaline content.
Foam, with its low moisture content can be very difficult to bond, often requiring the use of accelerator.
Light-ply, with its high alkaline content, can be very difficult to bond because alkaline is a neutralizer to CA which makes it very non-reactive. In the case of light-ply the use of an accelerator or our M100XF High Performance CA can be used.
M100XF has been specifically formulated to handle the high alkaline levels in some woods giving the same speeds and strength without the use of accelerator.
Some plastics like polyolefin’s can be very difficult to bond and may require a primer be used before applying the CA.
