Accelerants are catalysts which alter a chemical bond, speed up a chemical process, or bring organisms back to homeostasis. An accelerant can be any substance that can bond, mix, or disturb another substance and cause an increase in the speed of a natural, or artificial chemical process.

Same difference. An accelerator is usually used with cyanoacrylates (CA glue) to speed up the curing (drying) process. I have heard from a few SPL competitors that the use of an accelerator will make the CA glue joint a little weaker but have never researched whether this is a attributable to a real scientific effect or is just one of those mystery myths the SPL world is full of.

ooo, I just re-read his post from a Reconing standpoint. And then it made sense.

Black CA is Cyanoacrylate glue that is black. And then.. yeah.

If the proper accelerator is used with the proper kind of ca. The glue joint isn't harmed. Use the wrong stuff and it can have adverse effects on it. Many different kinds of ca glue's and almost as many accelerators :)

Glad you like it! :) It's very tough stuff!

We do alot of SPL testing and so far accelerator is always the best bet over letting it cure on its own.
