Title: Starbond CA
Post by: Ken Culbertson on March 23, 2022, 11:14:19 AM
Has anybody used this brand of CA.  It gets 5 star ratings on Amazon and I can have it tomorrow.  BSI will take a week and I am out.  "Quad P"

I've heard it mentioned in a lot of woodworking videos on the U-tube. Lots of people seem to like it, and I'm guessing it's pretty good.

I tried BSI and the earliest I could get it was next Mon - Fri.  You must be close to a fulfillment center that has it in stock.  I have used nothing but BSI for years.  Felt like I was cheating on my wife to order something else. LL~

If there is a Hobby Town nearby they stock a lot of BSI glue.

We have two, one 10 miles south and one 12 miles north. They open after I get to work and close before I leave.

I guess I will find out tomorrow if Starbond sucks.

They don't open till 10:00 and I go home at 7:00.  If I did make it over there, I would be forced out of habit to check their balsa supply and that would be too depressing.  Hobby Lobby, a couple of blocks from home open till 9:00 caries the Accelerator and Un-Cure, but not any of the glues.  Go Figure.

Yeah Ken, there is a center about 35 to 40 miles in this area.  My car seldom leaves the garage any more if I need stuff other than groceries.

Mark Troutman and I have been using Stickfast purchased from Amazon for a while now.
I've not had any issues with it. Unlike Zap.

Ken,  I have used the thin for a year now with no real issues.

I've been buying the small tubes from Harbor Freight when they have them on sale, like 3 or 4 tubes for .99 cents. I have a lot less waste that way if it goes bad.

I have used the thin and medium CA from Hobby Lobby as well as the gorilla glue CA with no issues.

Thanks to everybody!  It has arrived and it appears to work just fine.  It comes with two applicator caps and 8 of the fine point tips.  AND, it was about 1/2 the price of BSI.
