With its precise viscosity, color matching, and strong bonding properties, this CA glue enhances the quality and aesthetics of woodworking projects while offering durability and ease of use.

LONG STORY SHORT:I began working in my buddy's wood shop about a year ago, which is when I first discovered CA glue. It's awesome. Just fill in the holes or gaps with whichever one of the glue "thicknesses" works best, and then spray the glue with the Accelerator. The CA glue is dry within seconds. Give it a minute or so, and you can sand it to match the rest of the wood piece.I bought the Clear CA glue kit (with accelerator) separately, but needed this BLACK CA glue to fill in knots and holes that were....well....black. Using the right color makes the glue almost disappear into the wood.With this glue (if you don't already have it) you will need an Accelerator spray to make it dry super quickly. And when I say quickly, I mean, you should be able to sand it within 2 mins or so of application. It's awesome.Highly recommend CA glue in general, and this Starbond Black Medium Thick is no exception. 10/10

All good

I've been using tinted cyanoacrylate ("super glue" or C-A glue) for years and if you don't know how to use this stuff, and how to buy this stuff, it can be extremely frustrating to work with. For starters, it tends to have a much shorter shelf life than other superglues so you want to work with FRESH glue for critical applications. If not, the glue can have issues with adhesion and fail to set properly, even after many hours. This is especially critical if you're using it as an adhesive as opposed to a filler. Secondly, it tends to have a thinner viscosity than advertised and can really wick into porous materials like wood before a good bond is achieved. Thirdly, as with all superglues, you cannot fill huge voids effectively in a single application. If you're trying to fill cracks or voids in a wood slab, for example, use many small applications and understand how to use accelerator to make sure each pass is hardened. If you flood a bunch of glue into a pit, the stuff at the bottom won't harden for days or even longer with or without accelerator. Which brings me to the fourth point--you have to be careful with your accelerator. I always let colored superglues sit and air dry a few hours BEFORE applying accelerator. If you don't, the rapid curing that is induced can cause a frosty white appearance and trap bubbles and voids below the surface. You'll get a faster cure in a more humid environment.With all that in mind, you can have decent success with this glue, and it's a huge convenience with the right approach and application. It's a lot less fuss than mixing your own colors for small repairs. If you need to move fast and fill a large void, you're better off with 5 minute epoxy and Transtint style dye. If you're filling more than a few voids or cracks, or need to use a lot of black cyanoacrylate, you're better off mixing your own clear Starbond glue with tints made for cyanoacrylate (GluBoost tints work fine in my experience with Starbond). Don't try to use regular tints for finishes--it can can cause dangerous rapid-curing and massive heat. That's my experience, anyway. Plus you can get better shelf life from the clear glues (30 months vs. 20 months according to Starbond).Speaking of which, Starbond makes my favorite CA glues, and it tends to be delivered fresh (which is REALLY important), but I only trust an open bottle of superglue for about 6 months. I keep my glue in a small fridge which helps a lot.

Great for small cracks/voids and fills in wood projects! Gives it a natural look. Drys fast, sands well and definitely great to have for the daily/weekend wood worker projects

If you are filling a deeper nick then several light applications will provide build up. Would like a few more micro-nozzels very useful. Be carefull not to use too much product can be a little runny.

Had a couple of natural walking sticks we found on a hike years ago and cleaned up and finished but had a number of thin cracks and crevices that were too thin for normal glue and some deeper than others. I wanted to keep those from growing and this glue sank into those easily and the additional accelerant made it cure in about 20 seconds so I could layer it up to fill those and keep the walking sticks in good shape.

Works for filling small to medium cracks, knot holes and imperfdctions in wood. Gives a cool affect.

pour les noeud foncé cela est parfait.

Very expensive product - arrived early but not great value

Ça colle fort et c’est marron. C’est nickel.Rares sont les produits qui sont aussi simples et celui-là remplit toutes les demandes.

I really liked the short fine tips supplied.used to fill blemishes and highlight in an an Iron bark burl in a wood turned bowl.Thank you
