CA Glue Suitable for Outdoor Use
1 min reading time
We get a number questions on CA glue's suitability for outdoor use. The answer is YES! Some examples of outdoor applications for CA glue include:
- Repairs to outdoor furniture: CA glue can be used to repair cracks or breaks in plastic, wood, or metal outdoor furniture.
- Waterproofing: CA glue can be used to seal leaks in outdoor gear, such as boots or tents, or to repair cracks in containers that will be exposed to water.
- Gardening: CA glue can be used to secure loose or broken pottery or to repair cracks in garden statues.
- Outdoor hobbies: CA glue can be used to repair or modify outdoor equipment, such as fishing lures or camping gear.
Our KEG-500 Flexible Heavy Medium CA Glue (Medium Thick) which is four times stronger than our standard CA glues is highly recommended for your outdoor applications. It has a higher resistance to heat, humidity, and natural weathering.
To further protect the CA glue from UV degradation overtime, we encourage coating the CA glue with a finish. Water based varnish, shellac, wax, dye, lacquer, and polyurethane are UV resistant.
