Eastman's 910 was kept in a locked refrigerator at the shop I was assigned to in the early 1970s. It was the precursor to all of the other superglues. I first became aware of its properties when I dropped and broke my favorite coffee mug. Only then did I realize that there appeared to be other fracture lines from previous breakage that had been so expertly repaired they were almost invisible. The other men in the shop then confessed that my mug got knocked off the workbench and the handle broke off. They broke out the Eastman's 910 and fixed it before I got back from lunch.
Thanks for sharing Tom!
Been using cyanoacrylic adhesives since the 1970's and just found your video.
1. My initial use for cyanoacrylic adhesives was emergency on-field repairs of competition Free Flight model aircraft. Sticks balsa wood vey well. Later I used it for repairs of many things around the home.
2. Safety - ALWAYS wear eye protection when using cyanoacrylic adhesives. The low viscosity adhesives can and do easily fly off on tiny droplets in all directions. They will instantly cure in eyes and an Opthalmic Surgeon told me whenever he has to operate on cyanoacrylic adhesive in eyes it ALWAYS results in corneal damage. I have had cyanoacrylic adhesive in one eye but was wearing contact lenses at the time, so narrowly avoided corneal damage. Lens ruined of course.
When using the accelerator DO NOT have your head over the top of the work piece, but well to one side. That is because when curing the adhesive gives off heat which vapourises some of the adhesive which if it gets into eyes, causes a lot of tearing and pain.
3. Handling with polythene gloves is a good idea and and small pieces of cling wrap will also work, especially if needing to hold pieces assembled while the adhesive cures.
4. Materials to bond. Cyanoacrylic adhesives will not adhere well to most metals though can be used to hold metal assemblies temporarily whilst doing some low stress machining operations. Cured adhesive can be removed from metal surfaces by prising off with a scalpel blade or single edged razor blade. Cyanoacrylic adhesives will bond ABS, PVC, TPE and Nylon plastics but will not bond polythene, polypropylene or acetals well, if at all.
5. When using cyanoacrylic adhesive I keep paper towel to hand to wipe off excess adhesive. As the adhesive will cure rapidly in the paper towel, take care with soak through to fingers and rising vapour into the eyes.
6. Freshly cured cyanoacrylic adhesive can be removed with acetone. A better solvent is a 50/50 mix of acetone and nitromethane (model engine glow fuel additive) which will remove all cured adhesive completely by rubbing or soaking.
Fantastic info! You rock!
That’s what really need to fix, a couple of cracks, in my guitar, will save much money, and do it myself, I am amazed. Thanks kindly.
I didn’t know it came in three viscosities and thought it had to be used with the accelerator. GREAT information here! Thank you so much for ANOTHER great video. I’m always ready to learn new things. 😀
Sir your delivery on explaining CA glue is exquisite. Clean, concise and to the point. Thank you.
I am a beginner, getting all of my lessons online. Your lessons are invaluable and among the easiest to understand. You definitely have a knack for teaching! I feel like the tips you share in each lesson are helping me to start out with some professional "polish." They are things that a newbie can only pick up by working with a skilled mentor. I'm definitely going be using CA glue in some of my Christmas gift projects, from chess boards to small picture frames. Thanks again!
This is an amazing comment, thank you Denise! 🙏
Thank you for this very informative video. Just started my first wood working project this Labor Day weekend and noticed that one of my 2x4 was cracked, I'm glad I have options other than using it just as a scrap piece. Thank you
You are very well spoken. You are enjoyable to listen to and to watch. All this and knowledge to back it up. I will happily incorporate my Starbond CA glue in more ways after having watched your presentation.
Everything i needed to know in a concise delivery. Perhaps the best informative video in a given topic……. ever created…in the history of mankind.
I thank you
I have used CA for years on Modle planes. It was always in the freezer and always worked great on anything. Thanks for this video
For 30 years or so I've been very resistant to using anything other than traditional/ typical wood glue on my projects. As the world of carpentry and woodworking is constantly evolving with combining different materials together in a project, my stubbornness is beginning to finally be open to the idea. I'm glad i watched your video on this first. Your pragmatic approach seems quite helpful and i feel it is indeed time for me to begin recognizing when it is the right adhesive to use. Great delivery too. Thank you for sharing.
Oh yeah.... and i dig the shirt! Big fan here of Willys Overland. Toledo native👍🏾🙏🏾
- So glad that I found the Academy channel. Your info is ALWAYS relevant & concise. Thanx 4 sharing.
THA is one of the best woodworking teaching channels out there. Always learn something new.
Wow, dude, straight up information I can actually use. Thanks for this post. I'll be using a LOT less common wood glue in the future!
I'm still in the research stage (code for still trying to figure out how to convince my wife that this is a worthwhile venture) of my beginning woodworking journey and seriously appreciate the detail in your videos. Seems like quite a few others have sort of forgotten what it's like to be a noob and take some stuff for granted. Thank you for taking the time. You really are a good example of what it means to be a great teacher.
Thank you for your kind words Coda Creator! Reach out to me on IG if you need any help or have questions. Cheers!
Why would it not be worthwhile? I bet you could get pretty decently set up for $4,000. Get a combination jointer planer and a decent cabinet table saw and make your own router table for it. That'll leave you money left over for a standing station and a bunch of extras.
I set up my shop out of the blue one day after watching too many woodworking videos and found out less than a year later a family member couldn't find anyone to finish their vacation cabin. Even at a great family discount I was able to make almost 20 grand working on it between jobs for a year.
Very helpful, especially the info on the three different viscosities. Thank you!
Found your channel a few weeks ago. Please keep up the great videos. Love your simple, clear and instructive style. I would love the starter pack but needed some glue bad enough I just went to the link and bought it. Lastly I had no idea it came if different colors. I have only ever seen clear. Thanks for showing that little secret.
Thanks for this. My husband and I are learning so much here! We have had the best time woodworking while home during the pandemic since March. My father left a few of his woodworking tools to me and I had no idea how involved woodworking is. I also didn’t realize how you can loose yourself for so long in woodworking that hours upon hours could go by and you have no idea how! Craftsmanship takes years! I’m ready! Let’s do this!
Let's do this!!! Love it!
PLAN/SCAMdemic. Trust me.
Great tips! Been refinishing an old table with a few small voids in it, will definitely give this application a shot, hoping to win the starter pack! Thanks for the awesome videos!
Great tips on how to store CA glue. Thanks for the great info! I didn't know there were 3 variations of viscosity.
Great video! CA glue has ton of uses in the shop. I mostly use it to attach templates to wood so I can cut out shapes.
Great video. I wanted to know more about CA glue and now I do. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video
Thanks for this quick and useful once-over. Very helpful.
Great video

awesome video for the CA glue! Thank you for making this video!
As a joiner I have used this glue for some years now but I didn’t know they were three types of glue and I see one you were using had a brown colour to it l have been using the saw dust to mix a filler but with pva thanks for your tips stay safe 👏👏👍
I started using Eastman 910 CA glues in electro-mechanical production in the summer of 1968. Little has changed in the last 53 years. Excellent informative video.
Wow, that is crazy! "Nothing new under the sun". :)
Excellent tutorial, thank you.

Super informative, thanks for info!
Very informative and useful video. Thanks.

Great Information, thank you. By the way, I love your T-Shirt. Cool Willys.
I’ve used CA glue for all these applications. It does make a very good finish on small projects. I use it as a very durable finish on bottle stoppers that I turn on the lathe.
Very very very informative and super professionally presented! Thank you! This video was pure joy to watch!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really enjoy your videos. They are quick, to the point and I always learn something new. Would love to have the glue starter pack of course!
Thanks for some great tips, the masking tape tip is a great one. I would never have thought you could do that.
Thanks for these helpful informations.
Thanks for the great tips! Haven't used CA glue in woodworking yet but I look forward to giving it a try!

Thanks Josh, I never considered taping the bottle to empty the tip.
Glad you got a takeaway David. Thanks for the comment!
LOL this comment is what intrigued me to watch this video…
I was curious how taping the bottle would empty the tip…I guess words DO matter…LOL

That was fantastic. Instant subscriber.
Great tips and very well explained. Thanks a lot.
Would love that starter pack! Helpful video once again! Thanks
I didn’t know there were different thicknesses of CA glue. Also, I’ve heard the word “accelerator” used when referring to CA glue before but didn’t know exactly what it meant. Great video! Thanks.
Sure you did...I'm sure you've seen super glue 'gel'....
Have been using thin CA glue but never knew about medium or thick unless thick is also called gel. Understand a lot more about these products, so thanks.
Just getting back into woodworking and being more serious about the 'end results'. Love your channel.
Thanks Rikki!
Good tips which I will keep in mind for future projects. Thanks
SUPER good video thank you very much
The idea of tapping the bottle is very helpful, as also is the use with painters tape to do the work of double sided tape
great video nice to know how store the glue
