Both of these CA’s are completely odorless during curing, so no irritation to nose or eyes, are non-blooming and only take a few seconds longer to bond than the standard versions. They are not as strong as regular CA and are much more expensive to produce but in situations when a lot of gluing is being done such as the saturation of fiberglass cloth when laminating they provide an escape from exposure to the irritating and unpleasant fumes of the evaporating monomer.
In addition Super-Gold’s don’t attack white foam so they can be used in the construction of foam core wings and the repair of any of the many foam based ARF’s that are available nowadays.
The non-blooming property also makes them the first choice for plastic kit construction with clear parts like canopies, although Super-Gold is still the best choice for assembly of the rest of the kit.
