M20FT Flex 2oz (Thin Flex CA)

This is the only CA glue I will use to finish pens or other projects. Wood will naturally move over time and I have had other glues give the broken glass look over time. Don’t look at others buy this one

I started turning rings a bit ago. Part of, or perhaps most of the process is in figuring out how I should finish them. I turned both test cases out of a piece of mesquite I had in the trash ( I love tiny projects ). As a quick aside, I'll mention that I turned another ring out of bacote and it looked pretty sweet, but that wood, I guess, is quite brittle and it didn't last too long. The initial ring I turned I put on the same CA finish process that I use on pens. I use GluBoost CA Glue with matching accelerator. I start with about 4 coats of thin, then move to medium for about 8 or 9 coats. I then sand with those little square things that go up to 1 million grit. However, I didn't do that on these tests because I didn't really care how it looked so much as if it can survive. My premise is that if I can wear a ring and it survives than it will survive anyone because I am an absolute brute. If I was wearing a tux ( an absurd premise I know ) and I got an urge I'd go right into the shop wearing it cuz I'm just that oblivious. So this is the ultimate ring finish test the way I see it. So I wore this ring for about 4 days. During this time I did one day of yard work and that's about it. ( not very brutish admittedly, but it was plenty ). At the end of that weekend the ring looked like it does in these pics ( the first two ). Basically ruined. I had heard about a "new" kind of CA that was mildly flexible, i.e. not as brittle, so I ordered some. In my research I read that it may even be a bit stronger than regular CA. I got the Mercury M20FT Flex ( thin ) and the matching accelerator. I didn't want to get both thin and medium cuz I"m cheap and didn't know if it would work. I turned a new ring and put on 4 or 5 coats of the Flex CA thin. I don't remember why I stopped there, I guess it looked like it was building up well. Or perhaps I superglued my self to the drill press by accident. I don't remember. I then donned the ring and have been wearing it for > 1 month. Still wearing it. And it has been through a LOT. As you can see from the pictures ( the second two ), not only is still fully intact, it still retains most of it's shine. This strikes me as such a significant improvement that I feel compelled to write up this review. It is huge. I don't know what the down side of flex is, it's the same price as any name brand CA. And if you are using it for finish, given it requires so few coats it ends up being much cheaper. Pretty great stuff.

Excelente,fuerte para mis reparaciones y equipos.

Best glue for pen Turners. I use this glue in all stages of creating my custom hand crafted writing pens. In 7 years of work I have never had a pen returned because the glue failed. Also excellent for applying light coates to seal and shine the wood. Great product.

I ordered these glues (Thin Flex and Medium Flex + Adhesive accelerator) because I have a defect in my finger nail cuticle that causes a split down the center of my finger nail. For a decade I've been using normal superglue to bridge the gap in the fingernail because without it the split fingernail catches on everything - especially my pocket - Ouch! Problem with normal superglue is that it is brittle and fingernails are flexible. Almost every night I would have to remove the cracked superglue and reapply a new coat. On a whim I searched for flexible super glue and came accross Mercury. I never knew 'flexible superglue' was a thing. I ordered the M300FM, M20FT and MH16 and was skeptical. I now know this stuff is really cool because my mailman opened the package and took the bottles leaving me with just the envelope and receipt! Mercury was awesome and reshipped it immediately. I got it last week. OH MAN! I wish I found Mercury earlier. The first coat I put on my fingernail has not cracked this entire week! I can bend my nail and it doesn't crack. Very pleased with how this flexes. Mercury has a new customer for life!

This has to be the very best CA glue for the RC Airplane hobby ever. It just works!

This is a Cyanoacrylate (CA) glue (often called super glue) and it's very thin - thinner than water. I bought this to glue a replacement tip to a pool cue as it was recommended by several people in pool cue tip reviews on Amazon. I applied a very thin layer on the tip and the stick (with CA you need to apply glue on both surfaces), spread it with a post it note, and sopped up the excess with the note paper. I held the tip down on the stick by hand for 1 minute and then put my make-shift rubber band and binder clip clamp on it over night. I just did this today so the jury's still out on how well it will hold. I'll check back with an update.

Holds well. Does not clog.
