I posted a couple weeks back about the problem I was having with the Stick Fast Ca Finish and the broken glass look. Several others also said the same thing. Well today I think we may have found the culprit. STICK FAST. I stopped by my local Woodcraft today and talked with the Manager. Just so happened he had 3 pens in his hand that had done the same thing. After much discussion we determined that it could not be the CA, and the only thing that was common was new cans of Accelerator.
He called Stick Fast. And we were right, Apparently they changed the formula on the accelerator after one guy(yes one) complained that it was not setting up fast enough for him. So they made it hotter. He was aware that there was some chatter on different forums regarding the issue and told Woodcraft they would change it back. The difficult part for us now is determining what batch of accelerator we have. The unscientific way to tell as explained to me, Look at the lot Number on the bottom of the can. If the stamp is small say 1/8 its the old, if its bigger and easy to read, its the new(hotter). Not sure what the "New" old formula will be. Stick Fast solution to the current formula was smaller sprays from a further distance????? Its a CA - accelerator reaction. Not sure what difference it would make?
