Does super glue ever stick to your skin? This glue is known to be very difficult to remove. While superglue is quite strong and dries quickly, you may want it to dry faster. When applied correctly, you can speed up the superglue drying process! Prepare the necessary tools and place them near you because super glue dries quickly.
Step
Part 1 of 2: Applying Super Glue Correctly
Step 1. Clean the surface to be glued with super glue using a damp cloth
Dirty surfaces can reduce the effectiveness of superglue. Therefore, clean the dust, oil, paint, or other dirt that sticks before applying the super glue. Wipe the surface and let it dry.
Super glue is more effective when applied to a porous surface. Unfortunately, super glue is less effective when applied to a smooth surface such as glass
Step 2. Apply a thin layer of superglue to the surface to be glued
In order for the glue drying process to take place quickly and neatly, make sure the two surfaces are combined as well as possible. In other words, you need to apply superglue evenly to the surface you want to glue without leaving any gaps. Super glue will work more effectively if there are no gaps. Super glue should not be used as a filler. Generally, every 5 square centimeters requires 1 drop of superglue.
Also prepare acetone! Acetone can be used to remove superglue from your hands or furniture
Step 3. Glue and hold the object you just glued until the glue dries
After applying superglue to the surface of the object, glue the other surfaces together so that they are joined. When the two surfaces are combined and glued firmly, the superglue drying process will run faster. You can press both surfaces to make them more glue. Don't forget to hold both surfaces together until the glue dries.
The super glue will dry after a few minutes. However, the glue will completely harden after 24 hours
Part 2 of 2: Make Super Glue Dry Faster
Step 1. Use a hairdryer on a low setting to make the super glue dry faster
Super glue is very sensitive to temperature. Warm air can make superglue dry faster. Move the blow dryer and don't focus on just one point so the glue doesn't get too hot.
A warm environment can also speed up the superglue drying process. Therefore, the super glue packaging generally contains information that advises its users to store the glue in a cool place
Step 2. Make sure the air circulation in the room is good enough for the glue to dry faster
To increase air circulation around the drying superglue, you can turn on a fan or open a window. Also, when using super glue, make sure the room has good air circulation and ventilation. Otherwise, the chemicals in super glue can cause nausea, headaches, and other health problems.
You can also blow off the super glue to make it dry faster
Step 3. Add baking soda to the super glue
Baking soda can make superglue dry faster. After applying the super glue, sprinkle a little baking soda on top. The super glue will dry in no time.
- Be careful when sprinkling baking soda on the glue. Baking soda can make the glue heat up.
- There are other alternative chemicals that can speed up the drying process of superglue. You can find these chemicals at your nearest hardware store.
