CA glue activator
 
What normal thing can you buy locally to use as an activator for CA glue?I know finger nail polish remover can be used as a debonder ,but can be used to activate it ?

You can buy an accelerator usually at the same place where you get your CA at. It usually comes in a little squirt bottle.

Can't recall which works, but either baking soda or baking powder works also... Believe it's the soda, works as a great filler also!

Baking soda. Put it in a salt shaker to sprinkle it where it's needed.

Good old Arm and Hammer makes a great filler but watch out for the smoke when the CA goes off! This used to be a problem in the old days but haven't had that happen in a long time.

I forgot about the search on here and did one on CA glue activator substitute and came up with about the same thing.One post said mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 1 cup of water.

Yep, we love our baking soda! The only specific thing I can add is it's the [8D]alkaline pH [8D]that kicks off the Cya glue. The delivery system for my baking soda is a powder blue baby snot sucker bulb. Ho HO!
