I know accelerator is not expensive, but it made my month when I learned how to make it myself. #greatdiy

This is for CA glue. She says a teaspoon of baking soda and a quarter cup of water. That is 10 mL of baking soda and 120 ml of water

The thing is that the CA glue is accelerated by the humidity so in theory only water should work also

Not really doubting you, but why the cut after you put the pieces together?

Wtf is CA glue?
@huxley_furniture♥ 42025-08-26
This is so good. It's hard to find an accelerator where I live and very $ thankyou for this tip 🙌❤️

Nice cut

Great tip. Thanks for the reminder. I've heard this before but then I'm wondering why the real accelerator stinks so much?

Tips: Your glue will need to be Cyanoacrylate based super glue, it won’t work for gorilla glue as it’s a polyurethane, but even the CA version doesn’t work as it’s not as concentrated. What the Baking Soda does is it neutralizes the acidic stabilizer in super glue that’s used to keep it liquid, and cures it instantly.

What’s the bicarbonate do? Water works well on its own and just wondering what the advantage is.

You can rebuild sections of plastics and stuff with adding baking soda straight to super glue, then sand it back after you've made enough layers
@dylan_poifiend♥ 12025-08-26
Interesting. What is the recipe for the accelerator? Just backing soda and water?
@craftedbydada♥ 12025-08-26
This is great, I can't stand the smell of the commercial ones!
@jc.thecarpenter2025-08-27
Awesome. What glue does it work with?
