Cheap CA accelerant

Post by Rogue Sub »

Sick of paying for zap a gap kick and the type.

Next time get a pot of water and boil it on the stove.
Next add Baking soda and dissolve it until it saturates.
Now let it cool down.
More Backing soda will fall out of solution but dont worry.
Pour the reaming fluid into a spray bottle and whalah!

Backing soda can also be used directly on ca.

This is useful for filling holes or rebuilding the corner of a part you broke. The end product is even sand-able.

The best way I have found to fill a hole fast is to lay some painters tape on the back side. Fill the hole with baking soda. Then drip thin ca into the area. For deep holes you should do it in steps.
All I need is a tank that can dive like a sub and shoot torpedoes.
