(BSI) has been producing adhesives for over 40 years.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur primary focus has been to supply the hobby industry with Cyanoacrylates (Super Glue, CA) and Epoxies, but a funny thing happened along the way. Not long ago, commercial or hobby grade adhesives were considered to be a step or two below the quality of name brand industrial glues. But that has changed. When asked for the best source for premium grade Cyanoacrylates, many craftsmen and industrial users now suggest “Go to your local hobby shop.” BSI adhesives have earned an international reputation of being as good as, if not better than, industrial grade, at a fraction of the cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy starting with only the best raw materials and manufacturing processes, BSI produces the highest performing adhesives, with top-notch technical support. By selling direct to retailers, BSI adds the critical factor of having dealers stocking fresh products. BSI’s adhesives never sit in a warehouse under uncontrolled conditions. This results in an unmatched shelf life and consistent performance, which a growing number of hardware retailers are taking advantage of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"super-gold-™-odorless-foam-safe-ca-2oz","title":"Super-Gold+™ Odorless Foam-Safe CA 2oz","description":"\u003cp\u003eSUPER-GOLD™ Thin and SUPER-GOLD+™ gap filling medium thickness are our odorless foam safe CAs. They are non-frosting and take only 2 or 3 seconds longer to bond compared to Insta-Cure and Insta-Cure+. There are no fumes that irritate the nose and eyes. The SUPER-GOLD™’s do not attack white foam; therefore, they can be used in the building of foam core wings and the assembly and repair of plastic and foam ARF’s. They will not fog clear plastic. SUPER-GOLD+™ is ideal for attaching clear canopies in plastic model kits; however, MAXI-CURE™ is still recommended for assembling the rest of plastic kits. Wood can be bonded to white foam with SUPER-GOLD +™ in less than fifteen seconds. For bonding foam to foam, spray a very light fog of INSTA-SET™ to one piece and apply SUPER-GOLD+™ to the other before joining. Excess INSTA-SET™ may create too much heat, which can melt the foam. Both SUPER-GOLD™’s cure to a more flexible consistency for better shock absorbtion. Whenever a large amount of CA is to be used in such applications as saturating fiberglass or Kevlar, SUPER-GOLD™ eliminates the irritating fumes from the evaporating monomer that make repeated use of CA unpleasant at times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnscrew top from nozzle.

Full strength is reached in three hours. Wipe the nozzle clean before replacing screw-on top. Refrigerate to extend shelf life. Cured CA is stable from -40 to 220° F.

To obtain a faster initial bond when bonding two pieces, FOAM-CURE™ can be applied to one piece and after the two are joined, they can then be pulled apart. After letting it air dry for about ten minutes, FOAM-CURE™ will act like a contact cement when the parts are rejoined, resulting in enough tack strength to allow the next steps of assembly.

It will bond wood and plastic to foam, and is a good canopy glue. FOAM-CURE™ does not, however, cure flexible enough to act as a hinge for aircraft control surfaces. Its limitations occur when bonding large areas of two non-porous materials. FOAM-CURE™ requires exposure to air for drying. If one tried to bond, for example, a half-dollar coin to glass, over 90% of the adhesive would never cure, since the solvent it contains would have no where to evaporate.
