What happens here

Richard introduces the specific materials used for gluing: cyanoacrylate (CA) glue, also known as super glue, and a corresponding accelerator. He shows a small pre-glued return piece of crown molding, attempting to break it apart to demonstrate the exceptional strength of the CA glue bond. This emphasizes the reliability of the gluing method for creating robust joints.

Goal: Gather CA glue and accelerator, and confirm the strength of the bond.

Tools and materials

  • Crown Molding Pieces — Demonstrating the glue's strength and application
  • Cyanoacrylate — Bonding crown molding pieces together

What they say

my short run. I'll glue it to that. And then I'll glue that to my long run, this outside 45. So, first thing I'm going to do is take that CA glue, the glue itself, and I'll run a small bead down the middle. That way, if there's any squeeze out, it it'll be limited. And then I'll take and I'm always going to start with my short pieces first rather than my big long one. So I'll take that. And now here's what I do. People do this differently, but I'll actually activate the be the bead. Now some people like to activate the mating side. I just like to do it this way. I think it works better. Then you'll just spray that on there and a chemical reaction takes place where it starts to dry instantly. Hence the name Instacure. And that is no joke. I mean, that's already just like that. It's about 8 seconds, they say. And it
