wholesale cyanoacrylate...

hardheart · May 14, 2007

I just got a price list, but there's a $125 minimum order. Was wondering if anyone would be interested in getting some.

A 16 oz bottle of super glue is $16.90 (they also have 0.5, 1, 2, 8 oz sizes) Six viscosities from 5 to 1500 cps.

5 & 30 min. epoxies are $3.50 for 4 oz., $6.25 for 8 oz.

also on the list are rubber toughened, odorless CAs, accelerators & debonders, tips/caps/bottles.

it's e-zbond.com, I can forward the list if anyone would like.

Have you found any other ratings on the stuff besides the price? I only ask cause not all CA's are created equal. you may save on the price for quantity, but the poorly distilled stuff dries up in the bottle faster. Especially if you leave the bottles in a hot garage for a summer. I had this problem while making R/C planes. When I took a break for a few months, the bottle of CA would be hard as a rock sometimes, especially if I used the non big namebrand stuff. But then of course, if you can use it all in a week or 2 then it does not matter. Most of the R/C pros use Zap or Jet from Goldberg Models (I use Zap personally).

I use EZ bond CA glue all the time for wood turning projects. It great stuf. I find that if you keep it covered and keep it in the freezer when not being used, you can greatly increase the shelf life of it.

Freezing it seems counter-intuitive... how come that works?

It doesn't actually freeze solid, James, just chills it to freezer temps. The cold slows down the inevitable polymerization.

Gotcha. See, I learned something again today

This OT, but here's a neat article regarding the history of super glues in medical applications:

The MSDS does not really describe the actual brewing process so to speak. I guess since others have used it with no probs then I doubt the stuff is real sucky. The important thing is care for your bulk back of CA.

True. Nothing kills a bottle faster than heat.
