Key Features
- Instant Curing Action — This activator spray accelerates the curing time of CA cyanoacrylate adhesives to near-instant levels, dramatically reducing assembly time compared to waiting for standard super glue to set naturally, making it ideal for time-pressured building and repairs.
- Professional-Grade Formula — Engineered specifically for RC model applications, this activator spray provides reliable, strong bonds that hold up under the stresses and vibrations encountered during RC car operation and competition driving.
- Versatile Application — Perfect for gluing tyres onto wheels, attaching body panels, securing internal components, and virtually any RC assembly task requiring super glue, making this a genuinely multipurpose product for your hobby workspace.
- Convenient Spray Format — The spray delivery system allows precise application directly onto surfaces, ensuring even coverage and avoiding excess glue drips whilst maintaining complete control over where the activator is applied.
- Generous 150ml Capacity — The substantial 150ml can size means you'll have more than enough activator spray for extended building sessions, multiple models, or an entire season of RC maintenance and repairs without running out mid-project.
- Essential Workshop Tool — Every serious RC enthusiast in the UK should have a can of quality CA activator spray in their hobby toolkit, as it's as fundamental to model building as screwdrivers, wrenches, and basic RC spare parts.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax CA Activator Spray FAST02A is engineered as a specialist chemical product designed to work in harmony with cyanoacrylate (super glue) adhesives commonly used in RC model building and repair. When applied to surfaces bonded with CA glue, this activator spray triggers an immediate polymerisation reaction, creating a rapid, durable bond that would normally require several minutes to hours to cure naturally. This near-instantaneous setting capability represents a genuine time-saving advantage in the RC hobby, where assembly can involve hundreds of individual gluing operations. The 150ml aerosol can delivers consistent spray pressure and coverage, allowing users to apply the activator with precision and control. The formula is designed to work reliably across a wide range of RC applications, from bonding rigid plastic components on touring cars and buggies to securing flexible materials on suspension systems and shock absorbers. Users working with various RC scales from 1/10 buggies and trucks through to 1/5 scale monster trucks will find this activator spray equally valuable. The chemistry involved ensures that the activated glue joints remain strong and permanent, withstanding the mechanical stresses, vibrations, and temperature variations experienced during regular RC car operation, whether during casual bashing sessions or competitive racing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does CA activator spray work with super glue? — CA (cyanoacrylate) adhesives cure through a chemical reaction triggered by moisture. When you spray this activator directly onto glued surfaces, it provides the catalyst needed to complete that chemical reaction almost instantly, setting the bond in seconds rather than waiting minutes or hours for natural moisture-based curing.
- What RC applications is this activator spray best suited for? — This Fastrax activator spray is ideal for gluing tyres onto wheels, attaching body panels to chassis, securing internal RC car components, and bonding any parts where super glue is the preferred adhesive. It's particularly valuable for urgent repairs before race days or when building multiple RC models simultaneously.
- Is this suitable for all types of RC models? — Yes, the Fastrax CA Activator Spray works with any RC model where you're using cyanoacrylate adhesives, whether you're building 1/10 scale RC buggies, 1/8 scale truggies, crawler trucks, drift cars, on-road touring cars, or larger 1/5 scale models. It's also equally effective for general hobby applications beyond RC vehicles.
- How much activator spray will I need from a 150ml can? — A single 150ml can of Fastrax CA Activator Spray provides substantial quantity for regular use throughout an entire building season or competitive racing year. You'll only need a light spray for each application, so one can typically lasts a very long time for most users.
- Can I use any brand of activator spray with any brand of super glue? — Whilst most quality CA activator sprays are broadly compatible with standard cyanoacrylate adhesives, using matched products like Fastrax activator with Fastrax CA glues ensures optimal chemistry and reliability. Always follow manufacturer recommendations for best results.
- What safety precautions should I take when using CA activator spray? — CA activators are chemically reactive products, so use them in well-ventilated areas, avoid contact with skin and eyes, and keep away from children. Always read the product instructions and safety information on the can before using.
