CA Glue from Satellite City

Welcome to Satellite City, home of the legendary Hot Stuff thin, Super T medium, and Special T thick instant glue. We have been providing our customers with high-strength, industrial-grade cyanoacrylate glue (commonly referred to as CA glue or super glue) since our company was founded back in 1970. If you want to bond wood, metal, stone, plastic, rubber, or just about anything else (excluding polyethylene, polypropylene, glass, and teflon), and you need a powerful adhesive that hardens immediately, you have come to the right place.
 
There are many companies that offer instant glue, calling it super glue, CA glue, and many other names. All of these products are cyanoacrylate adhesives, but cyanoacrylates are not all created equally. You can get away with using a discount CA glue from the hobby shop or a bargain-priced superglue from the drug store when the materials are light and there will be little stress, but if you need a reliable instant glue for high-strength, permanent bonds, don't waste your time with cheap substitutes. There's a reason we have been selling the same CA glue, virtually unchanged, for over 40 years!

Woodworkers, dental laboratories, furniture repair shops, musical instrument manufacturers, hobbyists, jewelry makers, and many others have known for decades that Satellite City adhesives are the CA glue that can be trusted to perform reliably, even in difficult situations and when time is limited.

 

Why should I use Satellite City instant glue instead of some other brand?

There are many brands of CA glue on the market. While they are the same type of adhesive, few, if any, can offer the same level of performance and reliability at our prices. Satellite City has been providing customers with instant glue since 1970. We have customers whose history with us stretches back several decades despite new companies popping up frequently with lower prices because those adhesives are simply not the same quality. Satellite City instant glues are used by professionals working with expensive or rare materials and in critical applications that demand the highest strength and reliability. They choose our adhesives because they know they can count on them. If these qualities are important to you, choose Satellite City instant glues.

Which CA glue should I use?

Use Hot Stuff Original (RED) when the fit is very tight and the material is non-porous. (i.e. piece of plastic and a piece of flat rubber). Use Super T MEDIUM CA glue (ORANGE) or Special T THICK CA glue (GREEN) when parts don't fit well. (I.e. two pieces of unsanded wood) or for very porous materials such as the end grain of a piece of wood. Naturally, more porous material requires thicker glue. Hot Stuff Original is about as thin as water (3 cps), Super T medium is similar to syrup (300 cps), and Special T thick is about as thick as cold honey (1500 cps).

Use the thinnest glue that will fill the gap between the pieces you are bonding. For example, if you are repairing a broken piece of china which was cleanly broken, using Hot Stuff Original will allow you to make the best repair because it is very thin and the pieces fit perfectly together. If you use Special T instead, the thickness of the glue will create space between the parts, and while it will certainly bond them together, it will look ugly. Conversely, if you are gluing together two pieces of unsanded wood, use Super T or Special T, depending on the gap between the pieces, because Hot Stuff Original simply will not fill in the gap and will not create a bond.

 

Why do I need solvent?

Satellite City instant glues are serious, industrial-strength adhesives. If you accidentally spill some on your tools, you will find yourself tearing out chunks of your workbench if you don't have solvent. Debonding misaligned parts and removing glue from fingertips are the most common uses of Super Solvent, and it is also very useful for removing cyanoacrylate from surfaces where it has spilled. Our Super Solvent CA glue debonder will also remove super glue made by other companies, as well as many other types of adhesives. It can also be useful for cleaning off parts prior to bonding, although there are less expensive options for doing so.

 

Can I use acetone as a solvent?

You certainly can, and sometimes it makes sense because it is so cheap, but it is also extremely flammable, smells terrible, and is more likely to cause damage to surfaces than our nitromethane-based solvent. It is also considerably slower. Acetone is what most other instant glue companies use in their solvents, but our solvent is not acetone-based.
