Insta-Flex Gap Filler (Pink Cap), 1 oz. A2120.jpg
A clear rubber toughened CA with similar qualities to our black IC-2000 but can be used in applications where you do not want the adhesive to be seen. The carbon component of the IC-2000 that gives the CA its black color also contributes to its unsurpassed strength. INSTA-FLEX is superior in strength to standard CA but a little lower in strength compared to our IC-2000. When a joint is a larger than normal gap, flexible CA's provide superior shock resistant bonds.
  A2120 $5.99

IC 2000 (Burgandy Cap), 1 oz. A2000.jpg
A rubber toughened cyanoacrylate that forms superior shock resistant bonds on non-porous surfaces. The black colored CA has added flexibility for the bonding of metals, fiberghlass, rubber, carbon fiber and advanced materials. For model use IC-2000 is ideal for the bonding of bulkheads, formers and servo rails to the inside of fiberglass hulls and fuselages. Setup time is 20-40 seconds, which can be accelerated with INSTA-SET. When cured, IC-2000 is pliable enough to be carved with a hobby knife. IC-2000 is the best adhesive for R/C car tires.
  A2000 $7.99
