November 3, 201510 yr Has anyone had any experience with crazy glue and soda for a decorative turned piece? I have been thinking about using some for fun. Can you add any coloring to it?
November 3, 201510 yr Author I have heard that if you put baking soda in a hole and add crazy glue, it becomes VERY hard quickly and will fill voids or holes with a white solid that can be turned. I did try it, but my results wasn't great. I was hoping to get some tips I found some utube videos on it but haven't looked at them yet Edited November 3, 201510 yr by Ron Altier
November 3, 201510 yr Author This is my effort. I drilled a hole on each side and filled with soda and super glue. It wasn't bad, but I'd like to make it better
November 4, 201510 yr Thanks, Ron. One place I read that the baking soda also acts like an accelerant for hardening.
November 4, 201510 yr what's the effect you are going for here.Try mixing an alcohol soluable dye with the soda to color it let dry overnight and try that with the glue?Baking soda acts as an accelerator by virtue of all the surface area. Sawdust does the same thing just not always as aggressively. Most of the commercial accelerators have some combination of the followingAliphatic Petroleum Alkyl Toluidines Xylene EthylbenzeneAcetoneNaptha Toluidine Quinone I don't know what the chemistry is going on with them. I know water also acts as an accelerator and so was a warm moist breath.
