I've discovered that you can make a version of cyanoacrylate (CA) glue accelerator at home. Just mix 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda into 1/4 cup of purified water. Brush it onto the “dry” half of the joint. The soda will neutralize the acid in CA glue, which is there to slow the curing time.
How can you make super glue set faster?
Use a hairdryer on a low setting to heat the glue and cause it to set quicker. Super glue is very sensitive to temperature. A little bit of warm air can go a long way and speed up the time it takes the glue to set. Be sure to move the hairdryer around so as not to overheat an area.
Will CA glue dry without activator?
If CA glue is not being pressed between two surfaces and has not had accelerator applied, it will take a long time to cure, and if the glue is too thin for the application, it will still not create a bond when it does cure.
What sets super glue?
Baking soda can act as what is called an “accelerator” and reduce the time it takes for the glue to set. After you apply the super glue, sprinkle a little bit of baking soda and the glue will set almost instantaneously. Be careful when adding baking soda as it will cause the glue to heat up.

What is superglue activator?
Super glue accelerators are typically acetone-based, using acetone as the primary evaporating agent. This means that once applied, the acetone evaporates leaving an active accelerator ingredient on the surface. The glue drives up quickly and firmly on the intended surface.
How do you use stick fast activator?
Stick Fast Activator is used with Stick Fast Stick Fast Glue to shorten the set time and/or cure time. To use, lightly spritz the Activator directly onto the CA glue. The aerosol tip creates the fine mist needed for even distribution, and reduces the chance of overapplying the product.
