DETAILS
Zap-O Foam Safe CA+
The Odourless, Non-Corrosive Solution for Foam & Sensitive Users
Zap-O Foam Safe CA+ is a high-performance, medium-viscosity adhesive designed specifically for materials that would be dissolved by standard cyanoacrylates. This “no-fumes” formula is completely odourless, making it the perfect choice for indoor building and for hobbyists who are sensitive to the irritating vapours given off by traditional super glues.
Why Makers Choose Zap-O Foam Safe:
- True Foam Compatibility: Will not melt or “eat” expanded polystyrene (EPS), depron, or EPO foams.
- Odourless & Low-Irritant: Ideal for builders who suffer from respiratory sensitivity or “CA allergies” when using regular adhesives.
- Gap-Filling Properties: Has the same excellent gap-filling consistency as the legendary Zap-A-Gap, but with a specialised chemical base.
Targeted Applications
Foam RC Aircraft & Park Flyers
Essential for the assembly and field repair of foam-based aircraft. Whether you are bonding wings, tails, or internal mounts, Zap-O provides a structural bond without damaging the foam substrate. It is also excellent for bonding carbon fibre or wood reinforcements directly into foam channels.
Crafts & Floral Displays
Perfect for bonding foam shapes, polystyrene balls, and delicate craft materials that are easily damaged by solvent-based glues. Its gap-filling nature allows it to bond uneven or textured surfaces with ease.
Sensitive Workspaces
If you work in a poorly ventilated area or a shared living space, the odourless nature of Zap-O allows you to continue modelling without the harsh chemical scent associated with standard CA glues.
Pro-Tips for Foam Bonding
- The Kicker Secret: Standard Zip Kicker is NOT foam-safe and will melt your model. Always use specialised Foam Safe Kicker. If you must use regular Kicker to bond wood to foam, apply it only to the wood, let it dry completely, and then mate it to the foam treated with Zap-O.
- Laminating: When using on fibre-glass cloth or fabric, spread the glue evenly with a soft plastic spreader or an old business card to ensure total saturation without excess weight.
- Cure Times: Foam-to-foam joints take longer to set than wood joints. Use pins or low-tack tape to hold parts in position while the adhesive cures naturally.
Safety Note: While Zap-O is formulated to be low-irritant, it is still a powerful adhesive. If you have a known severe allergy to cyanoacrylates, test a small amount in a ventilated area first. Discontinue use if any reaction occurs.
