Starbond EM-02 Super Fast Thin, PREMIUM CA - Super Glue plus Extra Cap and Microtips, 2 oz.

This glue is great for minatures BUT you should follow instructions, unlike me , it says to use gloves . I didn't and stuck my fingers together the first few times . The micro nozzles are great and as long as you take them off and use the pin in bottle are reusable . Very thin and takes a steady hand to use but it does bond quickly and any extra residue can be carefully sanded off ( I used a disposable nailfile with good results). For the amount you get yes I would recommend this but if you are not a master use gloves or you will be debonding your fingers

2nd edit: 10/4/2025I am upping my rating to 5 stars...heres why: the glue still works just fine and its been a LOOOOOONNNNG time since i ordered this glue. about a year and a half...the watery glue still works, no problem. I've learned to use the super thin nozzles they include, as I find them completely indispensable. they are the best thing to have with glue like this...however I found an amazon product that contains hundred of these little nozzles. they work great and with the watery glue, as well as the gel consistancy, this is a great product that allows me to cover all my needs as far as glue goes.only thing this glue doesn;'t work great on is acrylic, but not many thing work great with acrylic. i found "glass glue" to be the best for that. anyway, a year and half later and this glue is still going strong and helps me immensley when the crack I have to glue is extremely thin.. this watery stuff goes right down into that crack, no problem.end of final edit: everything below this is the original and follow up edits.But all you need to know is I recommend this glue, if you need a fast setting watery glue, here you goEDIT:. The company was kind enough to send me a free sample of their gel consistency which is what is prompting me to edit this review. I was extremely harsh in my first review. Now that I've had the product for a few months I can safely suggest that you give this brand a try. Here are the things that caused me to change my opinion.1. The thin consistency is marketed as a thin consistency. And they offer any consistency for your particular need.2. using their gel consistency which does not run at all. which means you can literally get every consistency from "watery" to "unmoving" but with commercial products in the store you can only get 2. gel and original.I would appreciate them Adding the words "watery" or "Flows like Water" or something to explain just how watery the thin consistency is. But I believe Being watery is intended and should be considered a feature.And I have to admit it's easy once you learn the technique of applying it,Now that I've been able to to try the gel, Which does not move I recommend the product. At this point I would say they deserve a five star review but below is the reason I can only go four starsHere are the downsidesgloves are mandatory (in my opinion).I also Recommend you keep the glue in the plastic box it comes in just to ensure it doesn't stick anything when not in. use.I also don't want to learn how to properly apply it. it's glue. it shouldn't need a curriculum.The fine tips that they offer and include are basically use once and throwaway because they're clogged at that pointI still don't understand why they need to make a new batch every month so my guess is it's due to shelf lifeThe fact that they want me to store this In my refrigerator or some other place where it's below 40°F is almost laughable. It could be due to the watery consistency or it could be due to the shelf life or it could be both. Either way it's concerning.It might not be as strong as the commercial options. It's hard for me to tell because I haven't done a one-to-one comparison. But it does set Pretty quick which I appreciate.Original review is below and should ***NOT*** be considered in your decisionI really wanted to like this product but even when I pick up the bottle there's still like residue that has some somehow escaped the bottle while it's sitting upright. My gloves stick to it every single time I touch itIt says on the product packaging a "fresh batch is made every month to ensure shelf life"If i had to guess they need to make a new batch every month because this product probably has a terrible shelf life.It's watery.., beyond watery. It pours out like water.It's barely usable because it runs so horriblyIt says on the packaging that a learning curve is required to apply glue properly... no. This product is like dumping water.. LITERALLY LIKE SQUIRTING WATER and then hoping you can set the bottle down before it sticks to your hand, and before the applied glue runs off the surface and glues your other hand. But have no fear, because it probably overshot the surface anyway.The packaging says to store it below "40°F". ?? so water freezes at 32°... so store it in my freezer? ??edit end of original reviewI'm going to suggest you try this company and try this glue. Just make sure you don't get the watery consistency unless that is exactly what you want.

★★★★★ Outstanding CA Glue for Precision WorkI’ve tried quite a few super glues over the years, and Starbond Super Fast Thin CA Glue is easily one of the best. The ultra-thin consistency allows it to flow into the smallest gaps and joints by capillary action, making it ideal for precision work.I mainly use it for model making and book nook builds, where accuracy is everything. It bonds incredibly quickly, creating a strong, reliable joint without leaving a messy finish. As long as you apply it carefully, you need very little to get excellent results.The included precision applicator tips are a real bonus, allowing you to place tiny amounts exactly where they’re needed. It makes delicate assembly far easier and helps avoid the glue ending up where you don’t want it.If you need a fast-setting, high-quality thin CA glue for modelling, woodworking, crafts, or other detailed projects, this is an excellent product. It’s become a permanent fixture on my workbench and one I’d happily buy again.

Hot Stuff, buy debonder as this stuff is fast on skin!. Works great and very thin. Wicks in nicely! Have had it on my bench for a year. Still very good.

I've not before used a product as sticky as this one is! It'll leave a lot of sticky spots on your work table unless you line it with newspaper before opening up the bottle. It is more runny than water, if that is possible. One of my first uses for it was to put a drop of it on the knots securing the lines (fine cotten string) between model rocket bodies and their parachutes. Despite being above average careful and using the microtip dispensers, a plus that no one else supplies with their similar products, I found that it had wicked nearly 3/8" up each line before I had a chance to discover and fix the problem! This is an amazing - if a bit pricey product. It'll glue pieces of anything to anything and It comes with a large serving of micro-tips, a spare bottle dispenser cover, and a most generous bottle of goo that'll last a long, long time. Unless you spill it, in which case you'd better be careful. If you step in the resulting glue-puddle, you'll never get your shoe off the floor! Two thumbs up!As a follow up to my first post, many reviewers have cited problems using this runny CA adhesive on balsa wood & paper, a problem most liquid CA glues share. The trick to obtaining a great bond in these circumstances is to first apply a thin coating to the two edges to be bonded. Quickly WIPE THE EXCESS GLUE OFF THESE EDGES. Then let the glue sit for a while to harden. Finally, apply another VERY THIN coat of glue to the edges again, line everything up and press together. You'll get a darn near instant bond of INCREDIBLE strength. This product is VERY NOT suited for gluing things without flat edges/surfaces together, like the bathrobe hook problem another reviewer mentioned here. For this, you need a thick, non-runny adhesive. JB-WELD is a most impressive adhesive for applications like this. Apply a little to the coat hook screws and in the screw holes, cover the back of the hook with a thick coating of the stuff, then mount the hook to the door with the screws. The hook will never, ever come off the door again, promise! Even if the screw holes were stripped!
