CA Kicker Home Brew?
A little while ago someone posted a recipe for a home made solution for CA kicker. I think it was baking solution and water with another ingredient. If anyone has it, can they post it again please?
Thanks. |

Boil baking soda in water and use as spray!

RE: CA Kicker Home Brew?
that's all it is? Boiled solution of water and baking soda?
|
RE: CA Kicker Home Brew?
Probably is, all you need is baking soda ...

RE: CA Kicker Home Brew?
That is all the guy posted on the thread:eek: let it set for a while, then put it in your sprayer and spray it,

RE: CA Kicker Home Brew?
anyone know the ratio of water to baking soda?
|
RE: CA Kicker Home Brew?
Oh by the way, someone once posted they were using an eye dropper to accurately kick CA, instead of using the SHOTGUN effect out of the spray bottle !
you spray you pay ! |
RE: CA Kicker Home Brew?
One ounce of water to one teaspoon full of baking soda is a good ratio.

Interesting thread.
I know that CA does pretty well when moisture is present. But that said most of the accelerators seem to use aromatic esters of some sort. DenverJayhawk let us know how it works out. |

I don't understand this "kicker" thing. I have built many planes and have never found a need for it. Thin CA sets almost immediately and gap filling CA only takes a minute or two. Why would I want the glue to set up any faster?

RE: CA Kicker Home Brew?
Some CA's are not refined as much a others or are old, which will cause them to set slower. Some people use kicker to help bridge gapps.

RE: CA Kicker Home Brew?
What I did was boiled a few tablespoons of baking soda in about a cup of water and then let it cool and settle ... Then I put the clear liquid thru a coffee filter and into my little glass storage bottle.. From there I fill my little spray bottle when it is empty...I dont use much and it tends to need shaking up from time to time but it works great....I could probably cut down on the amount of baking soda I use... I also find that you only need to get the water hot enough to disolve the baking soda , you dont really need to boil it..
