I have used Starbond, Insta-bond and Stick-fast brands of CA glue, in thin, medium, thick, and black flexible.

My main use is for crack filling with crushed turquoise, wood dust, etc. I sometimes use accelerator but usually not. I really don't think I can tell the difference among the brands. I now am receiving advertisements from GluBoost and they say their version of CA is the best. They are also among the most expensive. Plus, I have heard good things about Parfix.

So is there a way to distinguish these various brands? No clue really. There are always fancy ones with shiny labels that cost much more and don't work any better. They switched from the Hot Stuff brand because they said the Bob Smith stuff was better.

Not the biggest brand name, but it works for me, and they are great people to deal with. I never use the accelerators. If you are putting the glue on thick, it cures the outside, but not the inside so you get the honey comb on the inside rather than solid Don Wattenhofer. I have been using Fastcap 2p thin in the 10 oz.

The first bottle worked great for everything including use as a finish, however the second and third bottle when used as a finish seem to set so fast that I can hardly get any on. I have bought Star Bond to see if that will work better as a finish. As far as excelerator what Robo said plus when using it as a finish the accelerator makes the surface rougher.

Yes I agree that accelerator can cause problems. One of the purported advantages of GluBoost is their accelerator that: " Totally unique! No bubbling, no pitting, no hazing, or yellowing ever!

I am writing a review on Glu Boost at the moment. I built the tool and put it away maybe last winter. When I tried to use it the epoxy was crumbling.

Did I have a bad batch, a bad mixing job, bad luck? I don't know. But, that was definitely a bad experience with epoxy. Just putting it out there. Richard Coers. Have you used shellac on this kind of wood before? Just curious because I would just use a flat Ca Glue For Woodturners Impact Factor sheen artist fixatif to maintain that color. I mix it pretty dry, as much sawdust as it can hold. Bill Boehme said:. Click to expand Mike Johnson. You could try and match the color of the wood you are filling with the darker saw dust and wood glue.

Or since you have spalting on the wood piece you could use a black pigment or black saw dust mixed with wood glue and fill the void and make it look like spalting. You can also add pigment Ca Glue For Woodturners 98 to epoxy and accomplish the same affect. The wood glue solution is quick to test, mix up saw dust and wood glue and plug some drilled holes and let it dry and sand it smooth.

This will allow you to figure out ahead of time how much and how dark of wood dust to add to get the desired affect. Owen Lowe. Raul, Crumbling epoxy sounds like mismatched resin and hardener. Poor mixing usually leads to a sticky, non-curing mess.

Raul McCai said:. For those using either epoxy, or wood glue mixed with sanding dust Do you think it makes any difference to the final appearance, or adherence, how fine the dust is? At what stage of the sanding process, do you collect a specimen for this purpose? I think we can generally accept the premise that sanding dust collected from the bowl that will need a crack filled would be the best bet for ending up with a filled crack that best matches the wood.

If the grain orientation's different where the crack is found, make the wedge accordingly. My second choice is bark shavings, where bark is present in the piece, followed by crushed bark. The type of finish can give you the dead fish eye look if you use dust.

Too much scatter. Coffee grounds make a nice filler with epoxy or CA. Ed Brannon taught me this trick. When Ed Brannon asked to use some coffe grounds I thought he had lost his mind. The result of coffe grounds is a realistic looking defect in the wood. The texture and color of the grounds looks like a water stained rot spot.

If you have the ability to make a crack disappear go for it. I always seen them. I gave up on hiding cracks - I now try to make them look like they were always there.

Turn them into a natural looking defect. If the coffee grounds are not dark enough you can put them on a pan a slowly roast them in the oven until you get the color you need. John King.

I'm not sure what I'll do with this black and white ebony bowl Mixed the epoxy with sanding dust, and I probably should have used more of the dust than I did. Can't really tell how it'll look until after it's dry and sanded flush Here's the biggest crack There were several other small cracks that were also filled.

The bowl was finished this morning, except for the foot. This is with danish oil applied, no wax yet. I'm pleased that the crack appears somewhat camouflaged by the wood, but it still looks like a crack. Not sure what I'll do with this bowl at this point Read reviews 5 Write a review.
