The right way to use Bulldog Superglue

Postby goddess » Tue Jan 12, 2010 10:43 am

1. Choose the right variant. Bulldog Superglue comes in 4 variants:
- Bulldog AllPurpose Superglue (for porous and non-porous),
- Bulldog Steel Superglue (especially for non-porous material--metal, hard plastic, glass),
- Bulldog Wood & Leather Superglue (for porous--hey for any of your arts and crafts needs!)
- and Bulldog Shoes SUperglue (for any types of footwear).

2. Prepare your work space. Cover the surface you are working on and the surrounding area with newspaper or paper towels. Be very careful not to glue your fingers together, eeks and ouch! You need not worry though, acetone (most nail polish remover has this ingredient--mom and sis have this in their kikay kits for sure) can do the debonding trick for you just in case you need to remove it.

3. Prepare the material-- surface to be bonded/glued should be free from dirt & oil/grease. If gaps are present or if the surface wont perfectly mate, it needs an epoxy adhesive (we have Altra Clear and White Epoxy!)

4. When evrything's ready, apply the glue to the object or objects you are gluing. Super glue has such strong bonding ability that it should be used sparingly-- just one drop per square inch. that's all you need.

5. Apply pressure to the glued joint by pressing for 5 seconds.

Work is done in just a snap! :P

How long should my american bulldog be fed puppy food? I own a 1 year old american bulldog mix. She just turned a year old on Dec. 1st. Should she stay on puppy food or should she start adult food. She weighs 50.3 pounds and I think she is done growing. I was told that some dogs have to stay on puppy food for two years.

Hi there Belicia,

First of all, thank you for taking the time out joining Friends of Cord.

For sure you're able to browse through Cord Chemicals website, or if not at least the content of the article posted here "The right way to use Bulldog Superglue". The article as it is, is about superglue and not bulldog as in a dog. :roll:

Try again, for sure you'll land on the right site where you can get the right answer to your concern.

Ciao!

May I ask something...? By the way I'm a newbie here at Friends of Cord.

Here's my question, why is it when this superglue was applied on plastic surfaces like on cellphones

it turns white?

Hi there chemical_brother,

First of all thank you for posting this concern, I'm sure some of the Bulldog Superglue users out there have had the same problem.

To answer your question, cyanoacrylate, the generic term for super glue has tendency to turn white or called blooming - caused by the condensation of cyanoacrylate vapours around the bondline. That is why it has to be used sparingly, just one drop per square inch, or just enough to cover the part that needs to be repaired. Remember that when the two sides (of the substrate or material to be fixed) comes in contact with each other, the superglue will be enough to cover both sides.

To get rid of the excess dried superglue, use acetone, the most effective chemical for debonding and getting rid of the cyanoacrylate.

By the way, for gadget repairs, especially those that has gap, use epoxy, we have Altra Clear for crystal clear finish!

Feel free to post your queries, hope this one helps!

Ciao! :D
