STARBOND 4 oz Medium CA Glue — Medium-Viscosity Super Glue for Wood, Models with Extra Caps & Microtips

Starbond 4 oz Medium CA Glue is a premium, medium-viscosity cyanoacrylate adhesive engineered for fast, strong bonds on wood, plastics, metal, ceramics and hobby materials.

Whether you’re repairing a wooden bowl, finishing a model, or bonding mixed materials in the workshop, Starbond’s medium CA formula delivers a practical balance of speed and working time. Produced in small batches for freshness since 1988, this 4-ounce bottle includes extra caps, applicator nozzles, and precision microtips so you can control flow, avoid clogs, and reach tight seams without excess mess.

How quickly does this glue set and how much working time will I have?

The medium viscosity Starbond CA glues are formulated for a 10–15 second set on typical surfaces, giving you a short but workable window for repositioning and alignment. This makes it faster than slow adhesives while offering more control than thin CA that bonds almost instantly.

• Approximate set time: 10–15 seconds on common substrates.
• Medium viscosity for controlled application and gap-filling properties.
• Use applicator nozzles and microtips for precise placement to maximize working time.

What materials will Starbond medium CA glue bond effectively?

The formula bonds a broad range of materials used in woodworking, hobby modeling, and general repairs. It adheres well to wood, rubber, many metals, ceramic, and popular 3D printing plastics like PLA, ABS and PETG, though surface preparation is recommended for difficult substrates.

• Wood, woodturning projects, and veneered surfaces.
• Plastics including PLA, ABS, PETG and some polycarbonate blends.
• Metals, ceramics, rubber and mixed-material assemblies.

What accessories come with the bottle and how do they help?

This 4 oz kit includes three applicator nozzles, two pin caps to prevent clogging, sixteen precision microtips for delicate work, and a user success guide with a QR code linking to video tutorials. These extras improve control, extend the glue’s useful life, and reduce waste from clogged tips.

• Three applicator nozzles for varied bead sizes and reach.
• Two pin caps for easy de-clogging and resealing between uses.
• Sixteen microtips for ultra-fine application on models and tight joints.

How should I store and maintain shelf life for best results?

Starbond emphasizes freshness: the glue is produced in smaller batches and carries a 30-month shelf life warranty when stored under 40°F. Proper storage and tip care help preserve potency and prevent premature thickening or clogging.

• Re-seal with supplied pin caps after each use to minimize air exposure.
• Store in a cool environment; refrigeration under 40°F extends usable life up to the warranty period.
• Use microtips and nozzles to reduce direct contact and contamination.
