Zap Gel

The Thickest, High-Strength Gap-Filling CA

Zap Gel is the thickest and strongest cyanoacrylate (CA) available in the Zap range. Provided in a precision tube with a long tapered tip, it allows for incredible control—whether you need a tiny pinpoint drop or a thick, structural bead. Because it stays exactly where it is applied without running or wicking, it is the premier choice for vertical applications and irregular surfaces.

Why Makers & Professionals Choose Zap Gel:

• No-Run Formula: The high-viscosity gel consistency is perfect for overhead work and porous materials like stone and wood.
• Maximum Gap Filling: Capable of filling large voids and open pockets in a single application without shrinking.
• Industrial Strength: Provides a rapid, high-strength bond for high-stress components like servo mounts and structural plywood.

Targeted Applications

Wargaming & Jewellery

A favourite in the gaming community for assembling pewter and plastic miniatures of all sizes. Jewellery makers value its high strength and the ability to place the adhesive precisely on small accents without it spreading to unwanted areas.

Woodworking & Construction

Revolutionary for "clamp-less" assembly. Zap Gel allows for the fitting of chair rails, crown moulding, and furniture trim without the need for nails or filling nail holes. It also acts as a fast filler for knots and holes when spread with a flat card.

Dental Labs & Fly Tying

In dental labs, Zap Gel is used to adhere stone models to articulators; its thick viscosity prevents it from wicking into the stone. Fly tiers and lure manufacturers rely on it because it stays put on hooks and bodies during intricate assemblies.

Pro-Tips for Structural Bonding

• Fast Fillets: To create a reinforced fillet or fill a large gap, apply the gel and spray Zip Kicker directly onto it. This creates an instant hard outer shell while the core cures into a rock-solid bond.
• Surface Spreading: When using on fibre-glass cloth or heavy fabrics, use an old plastic card to spread the gel evenly across the material for maximum saturation.
• Variable Cure Times: Remember that a thin layer of gel will cure much faster than a thick bead. If you are applying a large amount, use an accelerator to ensure a total set.
