The foundation of every successful turning project is a dependable bond. At Craft Supplies USA, we curate the industry’s most trusted adhesive brands—including Insta-Bond™, GluBoost, Hot Stuff, Starbond, and more, to ensure you have the precise formula for every application.

From stabilizing fragile “punky” wood to securing brass pen tubes, filling aesthetic voids, and applying a durable CA finish, our professional-grade selection is engineered specifically for the unique stresses of the lathe.

High-Performance Solutions for Every Project:

  • Cyanoacrylate (CA) Glues: Discover a full range of viscosities (Thin, Medium, Thick, and Flexible) from Insta-Bond™. Whether you need the deep penetration of a thin CA to fix hairline fractures or the gap-filling control of a thick gel, we have the specialized formula for the task.
  • Professional Finishing Systems: Elevate your work with GluBoost—the gold standard for high-speed, glass-like finishes and ultra-clear repairs that won’t bubble or cloud.
  • Structural & Multi-Material Bonding: For heavy-duty mounting, void filling, and bonding dissimilar materials, browse our high-shear 5-Minute Epoxies and legendary Gorilla Glue options.
  • Specialized Fasteners & Shop Essentials: Beyond liquids, we provide the mechanical essentials for faceplate work and project assembly, including high-torque self-tapping screws, double-faced cloth tape, and industrial-strength accelerators (kickers).

Why Source Your Adhesives from Craft Supplies USA, The Woodturners Catalog? We don’t just sell glue; we provide the bonding systems turners rely on. Whether you are re-attaching bark on a natural edge bowl or precisely positioning a delicate inlay, our adhesives are tested for shelf-life stability, superior impact resistance, and maximum clarity.

FAQs

Refrigerate it! Storing CA glue in the refrigerator dramatically increases its shelf life. It may thicken slightly when cold, but it will quickly return to its normal consistency at room temperature. Be sure to avoid freezing so as not to damage the glue.

To prevent clogging, always store the bottle upright. After use, gently squeeze the bottle until you hear a slight "hiss" of air escaping the nozzle tip. This forces any remaining glue out of the opening. Place the cap on the nozzle to prevent spilling.

Yes. Insta-Bond™ 5-Minute Epoxy is excellent for filling voids because it is non-shrinking and offers high structural integrity (7,000 PSI shear strength). For decorative effects, you can mix the epoxy with wood dust, crushed stone or mica powders.

Bubbling is often caused by applying too much accelerator too close to the surface. To achieve a crystal-clear finish with GluBoost or Insta-Bond™, mist the surface from 10–12 inches away using an aerosol activator. This provides a more even, gentle cure compared to pump sprays.

The right viscosity depends on the job to be done.

  • Thin CA (2-3 cps): This waterlike consistency is best for stabilizing "punky" wood, soaking into hairline cracks, and capillary action bonding. It's ideal for use as a CA finish.
  • Medium CA (600 cps): The all-purpose choice for general assembly, gluing pen tubes, and mixing with sawdust to fill small voids.
  • Thick CA (2,000 cps): Ideal for large gap filling, vertical surfaces where running is a concern, and bonding waste blocks to bowl blanks.
