Review on πŸ”§ Super Phatic Adhesive by DELUXE MATERIALS (DLMAD21) - Enhanced SEO-Friendly Edition by James Nedumaran

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Really strong adhesive but needs care

I have been using Super Phatic for 3 years after developing an allergy to CA. I get into the balsa wood pretty well and hold it better than any other glue I've tried and it dries fairly quickly. I only have two problems with this stuff. 1. Once dry it remains slightly flexible which is good for strength but it means it is difficult to sand to a smooth finish. So keep it away from the outside of the wing or fuselage panel joints.2. If the glue is stored for more than a few months without shaking, it will delaminate in the bottle and cannot be mixed again. I bought 2 bottles in Toledo last year (from a Deluxe rep). One was used immediately, the other (from the same box) sat on itself for 10 months, when he finished the first he grabbed the second and it was a solid piece. I also just received a 'new' bottle from Revain which has cured - I suspect it has been stored for too long. So keep moving. Otherwise great stuff!

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
