Does anyone have a good recipe? The stuff I get at the hobby shop just dries up before I can use 1/2 of it.
Baking Soda sprinkled over the top. It is better if you cook with glycerin and water. Or even just water and baking soda.
I concur about just using moisture, regardless of the vehicle. I've wondered if this reduces the life of the bond, however.
0.1%-1% N,N-Dimethyl-p-Toluidine and 0.1%-1% Hydroquinone in in Isopropyl Alcohol or 1% N,N-Dimethyl-p-Toluidine in an aerosol carrier.

An aerosol carrier is a liquified gas under pressure. Freon (chlorofluorocarbons) used to be the standard aerosol propellant but freon breaks down at 50-100 km, making chlorine atoms which destroys the ozone layer, so it is banned universally. There are a few hydrochlorofluorocarbons propellants in limited use (hydrochlorofluorocarbons mostly decompose in the lower atmosphere below the ozone layer) but most aerosol propellants are hydrocarbons such as propane, butane, isobutane, or in higher pressure containers carbon dioxide or nitrous oxide.Tsch.....I knew that...What is aerosol???

I've heard good stuff about using spit...
Besides the moisture,it has to do with the PH of spit.+1
I've used my spit in a pinch while building metal war gaming miniatures.....it does the trick when you need a quicky
Simply stolen from MSDS sheets found by google searching for "CA accelerator MSDS"I'm sorry Bob. That was supposed to be my attempt at being comical...
I do however ... not have any idea what that formula is you posted...
:tongue:
The StickFast MSDS is useless. https://www.highlandwoodworking.com/msds/CA-Glue-Aerosol-Activator-msds.pdf
The solvent is acetone (60%-70%) and the propellant is LP Gas (25%-35%). The actual activator (0.1%-0.5%) is listed as proprietary. N,N-Dimethyl-p-Toluidine in that amount is a well known activator so I'll stick with Door #1.

Pretty much how I look at it.I was told that there are different grades of CA and that the cheap stuff isn't as good but since everything I build ends up with epoxy fillets it really doesn't matter to me.
