Product Description
Zap-A-Gap CA+ (Medium Viscosity)
The Gold Standard of Instant Adhesives
Zap-A-Gap CA+ is widely regarded as the best-selling cyanoacrylate in the world for a reason: unmatched consistency. Whether you are building a high-performance RC aircraft or a delicate piece of jewellery, Zap-A-Gap provides a reliable, permanent bond across a massive range of materials. The ability to bond virtually anything to anything makes it the favourite adhesive across dozens of professional and hobbyist disciplines.
Why Hobbyists & Makers Choose Zap-A-Gap:
- Gap-Filling Power: The medium viscosity is thick enough to fill small voids and imperfections, yet thin enough to wick into porous surfaces.
- True Versatility: Bonds wood, veneers, rubber, leather, most plastics, and even oily surfaces.
- Speed & Strength: Cures in seconds. Pair it with Zip Kicker for an instant, rock-hard set—perfect for creating fillets or high-stress joints.
Targeted Applications
RC & Scale Modelling
The go-to choice for the workshop. Trust it for securing wing spars, ribs, and mounting trays in RC aircraft, or ensuring RC car tyres stay glued to the rim at high speeds. It is the ultimate build-and-repair tool for balsa wood, carbon fibre, and hobby plastics.
Arts, Crafts & Jewellery
From intricate woodturning and bowl blank stabilisation to delicate jewellery repair, Zap-A-Gap offers a clean, clear finish that won’t distract from your craftsmanship. It is perfect for bonding dissimilar materials, such as metal accents to wooden bases.
Outdoor & Sporting Goods
A favourite for fly-tying, lure making, and fletching arrows. Its water-resistant properties and durability make it ideal for equipment that takes a beating, from pool cue tips to archery inserts.
Pro-Tips for a Perfect Bond
- Less is More: A little goes a long way! Over-applying glue can actually slow down the curing process. Only apply enough to evenly coat the area.
- Porous Materials: For balsa or gypsum, the glue may wick into the fibres. Apply a light base layer, let it set, and then apply a second bead for maximum strength.
- Precision Application: Use Z-Ends or Flex-Tips for micro-drops in hard-to-reach areas or when creating reinforcement fillets.
