<p>I have used the products for about a year. My main interest was in the glue-accelerator reaction and I'm happy to say, if used judiciously and carefully, the glue cures without blushing or expanding. Like any new technique, it took a while to get the process down. It works on nitro okay, but with a BIG caveat. The accelerator, though advertised as safe for nitro, will indeed attack nitro if you spray anything more than the least amount of product. If one wets the nitro, get it off pronto!…</p>
<p>I have used the products for about a year. My main interest was in the glue-accelerator reaction and I'm happy to say, if used judiciously and carefully, the glue cures without blushing or expanding. Like any new technique, it took a while to get the process down. It works on nitro okay, but with a BIG caveat. The accelerator, though advertised as safe for nitro, will indeed attack nitro if you spray anything more than the least amount of product. If one wets the nitro, get it off pronto! The product beads up quickly and will mar/attack the finish where the beads are. It's not as disastrous as spilling acetone on nitro, but it's more work you have to do to clean it up.</p>
<p>As for general technique, I waft the spray nozzle over the glue from about 8" using the least amount possible, and just sit back and wait. I've done layering of deeper dings and will wait 15-30 minutes between applications. It takes a while to harden up, particularly if you use the medium viscosity. I prefer the thin for 99% of jobs. It cures hard and takes sanding and polishing well. I use the Kovax Tolecut dry-sanding regime and get acceptable results. LOVE the Tolecut, BTW. My previous go-to was Micromesh but this stuff is next-level. </p> IMG_0856.JPGIMG_0839.JPG

<p>Been using this system for around six months now and I ve found the red is excellent for dings and headstock repair cracks etc.</p>
<p>I think the pigments are to strong to be honest/ You have to use a lot of glue sometimes to get the correct shade,also you have to be really good at mixing colours to get the best results?</p>
<p>The white is a pain to use as you have to dissolve it in acetone before use.</p>

<p>I wanted to touch in a small chip on a Tele body recently,it was off white.I poured some of the CA on the pallet about 1" diameter put a small bit of brown to it,half the size of a pin head and it was still way to much? To get the right shade I would have had to use the whole bottle!!</p>

<p>Sounds like we've endured a similar struggle lol. I almost jumped out of my seat when i started reading about this stuff.</p>
<p></p>
<p>It occurs to me that pre mixing the tint powders with acetone might be a good way to adjust the colour without worrying about the ca setting up. Might save some glue in the testing phase.</p>
