Bob Smith IndustriesMaxi-Cure Extra Thick, 2 oz., Blue (BSI-113)

So the glue itself is definitely 5 stars. If you have used super glues in the past and felt you never have control or any ability to adjust the items you are gluing then this thick CA glue is going to be a game changer for you. Frankly I didn't realize there were so many different kings of CA glue until I researched the Bob Smith line. All Bob Smith products are top of the line as far as CA related items are concerned. However, the bottle design could use some thoughtful updating.CA glue is hard to store. It dries rock hard and can fog and eat into certain materials. Ultimately, I often resort to just using a split tip applicator or needle or even a toothpick to apply the glue straight out of the bottle instead of through the cap. The cap will clog easily, even when closing it tightly between applications. A needle will unclog the cap but having to do this for every application gets old fast. I would like to see an option to buy Bob Smith flat caps with no nozzle so these bottles could be shorter and air tight if all I ever do is use a separate applicator tool. It would be nice if they offered flat caps. Instead, as it comes today, you can just not pop the cap when new and just use it as a air tight cap. Keep in mind replacement Bob Smith nozzle caps and their corresponding cover caps are available just about everywhere the actual glue is sold.I use this thick CA glue for scale model making and for that it is great when you need to bond primed or painted parts. Note that this particular version of Bob Smith glue WILL FOG any and all plastics including clear parts unpredictably. You have to get Bob Smith Gold and/or Gold+ if you need a glue that does not fog plastics. Knowing these limitations, this thick CA glue allows you to precisely apply a specific amount to a specific area, without dripping or running, and push two parts together while allowing about 10 seconds to adjust fit.This glue uncures fully and excess cleans up easily with Bob Smith's Debonder if used within a few hours. Surrounding excess cleanup is still possible days later with the Debonder which is very useful for modelers. The debonder here is more like a re-activator and the excess you are brushing around will still bond or stick and fog things so make sure you wipe it off fully once it is dissolved and wet. For reference, the thickness of this glue is similar to classic Elmer's glue. Keep in mind it will become thicker over time depending on how it is stored and used.The bond seems strong enough for model makers. I have used CA glue from Star Bond that was even stronger when fuller cured, but much more difficult to work with than this glue. I highly recommend this thick glue for general modeling use when you want to bond two separate parts together while not having to rely on or need any capillary action.

This glue works really well and gets the job done. I bought it for my architecture class, and it holds things together incredibly well, including acrylic rods, fabric, wood, and almost anything you can imagine! The only thing is, sometimes the glue gets stuck to the cap, and the bottle gets stuck a lot, which can be super annoying. But overall, the glue itself is pretty good and a lifesaver for my projects!

I've tried about 9 million other glues and always end up throwing away most of it because it dries up or you can't get the lid off after using it. This on the other hand I've been able to remove the lid and put it back on and use it as many times as I need I've had this for a few months now and it is our go-to glue because it doesn't ever let you down. Not a bad price considering the price in these big box stores for anything anymore so there's that. You're able to spread it as thin as you need it or as thick as you need it and it will do what it says within 30 seconds or so. The thickness never seems to be a problem if you put it on to heavy. The best thing is there's hardly no smell at all and the website has multiple different glues for different things but I just use this one and it seems to work on everything.

Super pleased with this super glue. Dispenser is nice size with great tip allowing regular easy cleaning on close aiding on reopen. Nothing I've tried to glue yet has failed. BUY.

Better than super glue! Pretty much instant cure time with the applicator. I have been able to fix toys, ceramic cups, plastics and just adhering multiple items together using this stuff! Well worth the money and compared to other brands it’s very comparable in pricing.The ease of use side of things it’s very easy to use. You do need to be careful because of how quickly the applicator cures to the product. So be very careful!!Keep clear from children.

Truly amazed at how well it works! I use it to connect my vanes to my arrow shafts and it works perfectly.

this stuff is really good but the container sucks big time. It needs a better way to store it especially over longer periods between uses. The tip gets plugged up all the time and you have to use a pair of pliars to remove the lid to clean the plug. It's a real pain in the ass. Then pretty soon it just all sets up hard. The glue is excellent the container is not.

If you’ve ever found yourself in a sticky situation—like trying to fix that wobbly chair your cat decided was a mountain to conquer—Bob Smith Industries Maxi-Cure Extra Thick Glue is here to save the day (and your dignity)! This glue is so thick that it could probably hold together a broken heart, but let’s stick to craft projects for now. One drop is all it takes to create a bond stronger than your last relationship, and it dries faster than you can say “oops, that was too much.”Just be careful—this glue has a mind of its own! I accidentally glued my fingers together while trying to assemble a model airplane, and now I’m the proud owner of a two-handed glue sculpture. But hey, it’s a great conversation starter at parties! If you’re looking for an adhesive that’s as serious about sticking things together as you are about your questionable life decisions, Maxi-Cure is the glue for you. Just remember to keep it away from your snacks, unless you want to take “sticky fingers” to a whole new level!
