Satellite City Hot Stuff CA Glue – 2 oz. Bottle, Special T Thick, Ultra Gap-Filling
Satellite City Hot Stuff CA Glue in the Special T thick grade is a 1150-1500 cps ultra gap-filling cyanoacrylate in a 2 oz. bottle, roughly five times the thickness of Super T, for gaps and poorly fitting parts.
Key Features
- Viscosity 1150-1500 cps, described by the manufacturer as about as thick as cold honey.
- Published by the manufacturer as Special T thick ultra gap-filling CA glue.
- Roughly 5x the viscosity of Super T at 200-300 cps, for gaps too large for Super T and for missing pieces or poorly fitting parts.
- Sets more slowly than the thinner grades; the manufacturer recommends using an NCF accelerator with it.
- 2 oz. bottle; the same grade is also stocked as a 4 oz. bottle, part number HST-8T.
- Green label in distributor listings, the trade shorthand for the thick grade.
Who Is This For?
Fabricators rebuilding a broken corner, filling a chip where material is actually missing, or bonding two parts that do not meet cleanly. It is also the grade used where the pieces cannot be clamped tight, since it does not need firm pressure to bridge the joint.
What This Is Not For
Wrong grade for a tight hairline crack, because at cold-honey thickness it will not wick in. Use Satellite City Hot Stuff CA Glue 2 oz. Original Thin at 3 cps for tight fits, or the Super T Medium grade for a joint that is only slightly open. Plan on an accelerator with Special T rather than waiting on it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How thick is Special T?
Special T is 1150-1500 cps, which the manufacturer describes as about as thick as cold honey, roughly five times the viscosity of Super T at 200-300 cps.
Do I need an accelerator with Special T?
The manufacturer recommends using an NCF accelerator with Special T, because the thick grade sets more slowly than the thinner Hot Stuff glues.
Is Ultra a different product?
No. 'Ultra' is part of the manufacturer's phrase 'thick ultra gap-filling CA glue' describing Special T; there is no separate Ultra grade in the Hot Stuff line.
Which accelerator should I use on light-colored granite?
NCF Stone is the accelerator formulated for natural stone such as granite and marble, especially light-colored varieties; over-application of NCF Quick may cause some light-colored granite varieties to discolor.
