Frequently Asked Questions

BSI’s Super-Gold thin and Super-Gold+ gap filling have developed an international

reputation as being the best foam safe CAs. They are also odorless and are the best

alternative for modelers who have developed a sensitivity to the fumes that are an irritant

emitted by regular CAs (these fumes do not contain anything related to cyanide like some

have claimed). Unlike many other foam safe CAs, modelers do not have to sacrifice any

significant performance characteristics when they use the Super-Golds on other materials

like wood and plastic. Super-Gold thin is not quite as thin as Insta-Cure super thin, but

is a direct substitute. Super-Gold+ can be used on clear plastic, like canopies, without

producing the fogging that occurs when regular CA fumes settle on a surface. The only

disadvantage that the Super-Golds have is increased price, which many feel is worth it.

You can contact BSI directly. Eventually, BSI’s MSDSs will be on our web site,

but for now we like the boost to our ego that we get at least every other day when

organizations and companies like NASA, Northrop-Grumman, BAE Systems, Wright-

Paterson AFB, Sandia Labs, Max Planck Institute, AAI, Siemens, Raytheon and many

others contact us about MSDS information. They have all found BSI’s quality and

performance matches or surpasses that of the leaders in industrial adhesives. The

consistent freshness of BSI’s products is a large factor in this. BSI’s network of hobby

shops reports that a least 35% of their adhesives sales go outside the hobby. Word

has gotten out that hobby shops have the best adhesives available for many industrial

applications at a fraction of the cost.

BSI’s Super-Gold+, along with all our epoxies, is compatible with all foams.  With ELAPOR® and other EPP and EPO foams, however, it is not necessary to use foam safe CA.  BSI’s Insta-Cure+ gap filling CA is used by many modelers for these foams with great results.  For maximum durability, test results have shown that BSI’s Insta-Flex+ clear rubber toughened gap filling CA creates superior bonds on these foams.  For all foam-to-foam bonding, BSI’s Insta-Set accelerator must be used in conjunction with the CA since foams do not have the moisture content that normally initiates the curing of CA.  The Insta-Set can be sprayed on one part and the CA applied to the other before bonding, or Insta-Set can be sprayed on a joint after the parts are assembled.  Epoxies can be used but they are heavier and produce generally weaker bonds on EPP type foams.

The first important step is to make a clean cut with a razor blade or hobby knife when you first cut off the tip of the nozzle.  When you are done using the bottle, sit it down hard and then squeeze the bottle.  Wipe the nozzle clean of any excess CA, then squeeze the bottle again to verify you can hear air blowing through it.  If you look straight down at the tip (not while squeezing it!) you should see a black dot.  That means the nozzle is clear and you can put the colored cap back on.  If a buildup of CA occurs at the tip, many times you can clear it just by using your fingernails (or pliers) to remove the cured CA.

When the two components of epoxy are mixed together, they create an exothermic reaction.  If the resulting heat is not allowed to dissipate it can cause the cure time of the epoxy to accelerate drastically.  This will happen when larger quantities (more than an ounce) are mixed in a cup.  The container traps the heat, which speeds the cure, which creates more heat, etc, etc.  If the mixture is stirred every minute, it will allow some of this heat to be released.  Pouring the epoxy onto a flat surface also allows the heat to disperse and is the best way to get the full working time that the epoxy is rated at.  Generally, for every degree above 80ºF, you will lose one minute of working time.

Exposure to heat and moisture are the two main factors in decreasing the shelf life of CA.  If kept at normal room temperature (74ºF) and humidity levels, BSI’s regular CAs will have a shelf life of over two years.  Unopened bottles can be stored in a freezer, but this offers little or no advantage over storage in a refrigerator, which requires much less time for the CA to warm up before use.  CA bottles can be stored in a sealed container inside the refrigerator to isolate them from moisture.  Adding a desiccant (silica gel) to the container can extend the life of the CA to over four years. Opened bottles that are frequently used should not be put into the fridge since condensation can occur inside the bottle.  Accelerator should never be stored with CA.

How to Write a Review

This FAQ section will cover how to write a review of a product on the 2dogrc.com website.

To write a product review, click on the "Write a Review" link at the bottom of the page.  It is in blue lettering all the way at the bottom!  This will open a page for you to create the review.

The first line is the Title, in this block you can enter whatever you would like, for example "Great motor for a .46 size plane!"  

Under that is a drop down box.  This box will display all the products you have purchased.   Our policy is that you must purchase an item before you can review it.

The next line is the Star rating.  Here you can rate the product 1-5 stars, 5 being the best.

After that is the Body text editor.  Here is where you can write a story or brief statement about the product.

When you are done, you can either click "SAVE" or "PREVIEW".

We appreciate the time to enter a review and check back often as sometimes we run contests based on people entering reviews.

If you have a problem entering a review, please contact us using the CONTACT US page on the website.

Our Policy is that you are only able to review products that you have purchased.  Since we have redone the website in April 2010, your past purchases will not be present.  If you purchased any items since April 2010, and they do not show in the drop down box for a review, please use the Contact US page and include your name, email, and product or products you purchased.  We will notify you when we fixed the problem.  

This was due to not all products configured until August for the review system.

Below is a brief description of how the 2dogrc.com Referral program works.  Basically you invite your friends, and when they order you get a coupon for 10% of their orders.
 

  1. You create an account on www.2dogrc.com.
  2. Then you go to "My Account", "Invitations" and select "NEW Invitation".
  3. Your friends will get an email from you.
  4. One of the friends then registers an account on the site.
  5. This new member (your friend) purchases a product or products from www.2dogrc.com.
  6. They pay for the order and we ship it.
  7. A new discount coupon is generated and sent to your email for 10% of their order total!
  8. You have 60 days to use each coupn.

 

No worry!  Our website will remember that you send them a request!  All they have to do is create an account sometime on the website and it will be okay!

You will received a bonus on each order they place.  So if they place 10 orders, you will receive 10 coupons.   You can redeem 1 coupon per order you place.
 

We store all these coupons in your account page.  Go to "My Account", then click on "Coupons".  This page will show all your coupons, their value and expiration dates.

We now offer more shipping options.  All these options are still from the USPS, but we are able to offer some cheaper solutions.  Priority Mail is the standard shipping method we recommend.  You get your goods in 2-3 days, and delivery conformation is included.  This is what 90% off our customers select.
 
Some items however can be shipped in an envelope, an example would be a speed controller.  If you just bought 1 ESC, we can put this in a bubble mailer, and mail it to you for about 1/2 the price as priority mail.  This mail is 3-5 days, with no delivery conformation.
If you have more questions, feel free to use our contact us page!
