Hi Gordon, You probably have the general idea already. The accelerator being referred to is probably the accelerator used with the cyanoacrylate adhesives such as "Hot Stuff" or "Super Glue" among others. The accelerator simply accelerates the curing process. On the thiner formulations, the glue might take several seconds to bond without an accelerator and my bond almost instantaneously with the accelerator. It can be used on one surface only placing the glue on the other surface to be glued and it won't react with the glue until the parts come together. It can also sometimes be used after the parts are just put together by using some of the slower curing glue, placing the parts together, positioning them (before the glue sets up), and then when they're in place, spraying them with a bit of the accelerator. That's the general idea. Hope it's a little clearer than mud! :-) Good luck, Brian T. ===== Brian Trout Grand Restorations 3090 Gause Blvd., #202 Slidell, LA 70461 985-649-2700 GrandRestorations@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
