BSI Insta-Cure IC Gel 20g BOB SMITH INDUSTRIES

IC-GEL is a cyanoacrylate paste that is extremely thick which comes in an applicator tube like toothpaste. It has the same bonding and curing time characteristics as MAXI-CURE. IC-GEL, however, can be applied to a vertical surface and will stay in place. It will not run. This can be very convenient for some assembly applications. Applying CA to the bottom of a horizontal surface, such as a ceiling, can be very difficult with anything other than a full standard CA bottle. IC-GEL can be applied at any angle with just a squeeze of the tube. The gel does, however, have a tendency to continue to come out of the tube for about a second after pressure is released, so this must be taken into account to apply the exact amount of IC-GEL that you want.

IC-GEL is an excellent putty for plastic models. It will fill any void and can be formed to many shapes. Applying INSTA-SET allows IC-GEL to be sanded or filed to final shape in less than 20 seconds. Auto-body repairmen have finished their jobs in a fraction of the time by using IC-GEL with the additional advantage over normal body putties of superior bonding to metal surfaces.

IC-GELs most popular application is for the bonding of fragments of live coral (frags) to underwater rocks in aquariums. It has proven to be non-toxic to aquatic organisms and provides instant bonding for the propagation of the coral. IC-Gel has a superior shelf life of over three years and its application nozzle makes it the easiest of all CAs to apply.
