Akfix 702 Super Glue 25g – Fast-Setting Cyanoacrylate Adhesive for Wood, Metal, Plastic, Rubber & Ceramic
Akfix 702 Super Glue 25g – Instant Cyanoacrylate Adhesive
Professional-grade, extra-low-viscosity instant glue that bonds wood, metal, plastic, rubber, ceramic and glass in seconds.
Akfix 702 Super Glue 25g is a professional-grade, extra-low-viscosity instant adhesive built on ethyl cyanoacrylate chemistry. It grips on contact, reaches serious holding strength within seconds, and cures to a hard, clear, water-resistant bond that keeps working long after the repair is done.
Stocked and sold at Shabbiri Hardware, Magadi Road, Ongata Rongai and Tuala (past Africa Nazarene University), it is the go-to instant glue for carpenters, fabricators, cobblers, electricians, hobbyists, garages and households across Nairobi and Kajiado.

One-part, solvent-free
No mixing, no ratios, no waste, no pot life to race against.
Dries crystal clear
Invisible glue line on glass, ceramic, white PVC and light-coloured wood.
Extremely versatile
Bonds wood, metal, most rigid plastics, rubber, ceramic, glass, leather, cork, MDF and chipboard.
High tensile shear strength
Up to 250–450 kg/cm² on stainless steel after full cure.
Water & moisture resistant
Once cured, repairs survive washing and humidity.
Precision nozzle bottle
Controlled single-drop dispensing — no flooding, no mess.
Economical 25 g size
Hundreds of small repairs per bottle at a very low cost per joint.
12-month shelf life
Stays reliable when stored sealed, cool and out of sunlight.
⚠️ Factors That Affect Performance
- Humidity — cyanoacrylate cures on surface moisture. In very dry conditions cure slows; in humid coastal or rainy conditions it accelerates.
- Joint fit — the thinner the glue line, the stronger and faster the bond. Excess glue actually cures slower and weaker.
- Surface acidity — acidic surfaces slow the cure; alkaline surfaces speed it up. Wood and cotton cure very fast.
- Temperature — below 5 °C the cure stalls; above 30 °C the working time shrinks sharply.
- Contamination — oil, dust, silicone, wax or release agent will kill the bond. Clean first.
🔧 How to Use Akfix 702 Super Glue 25g (Step-by-Step)
Prepare the surfaces
Both faces must be clean, dry and free of dust, oil, grease, wax and old adhesive. Wipe with acetone, thinner or methylated spirit and allow to evaporate fully. Glossy or non-porous plastics bond better after a light scuff with 180–320 grit sandpaper.
Check the fit
Dry-fit the two parts first. Akfix 702 is a thin, gap-filling-limited adhesive — the joint should close tightly, ideally with a gap under 0.1 mm. If the gap is wide, use a thicker cyanoacrylate gel or a filled epoxy instead.
Open the bottle correctly
Unscrew the red cap, pierce the nozzle seal with the pin inside the cap (or snip the very tip of the nozzle), then refit the applicator cap. Keep the bottle upright when opening.
Apply one thin drop
Apply the adhesive to one surface only, in a single thin line or a few spaced drops. Less is more — a flooded joint cures slower, turns white and ends up weaker. Roughly one drop covers 6–8 cm².
Join and press
Bring the parts together immediately, align them correctly the first time, and press firmly for 30 to 60 seconds. You will not get a second chance to reposition — the grab is instant.
Leave it to fix
Do not disturb the joint for 3 to 5 minutes. Handling strength arrives within a minute on most materials.
Allow full cure
Leave 24 hours (up to 48 hours on metal and dense plastics) before applying full load, machining, sanding, washing or stressing the joint.
Close and store
Wipe the nozzle clean with a dry cloth, cap it tightly straight away, and store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place. A resealable bag or a lidded jar in the coolest part of the workshop extends the life of an opened bottle considerably.
💡 Professional Tips
- Wicking repairs: for a hairline crack, hold the parts closed and touch a drop to the edge — the low viscosity draws the glue right into the crack by capillary action.
- Speed it up: a light mist of cyanoacrylate activator/accelerator (or a breath of warm humid air) cures the glue almost instantly.
- Slow it down: on wood and cotton, work in very small sections — these substrates cure the glue almost on contact.
- Bonding to skin: never squeeze the bottle with the nozzle pointed at your face. Keep the cap sealed around children.
- Stop the “blooming”: the white haze around a joint comes from over-application in a poorly ventilated space. Use less glue and ventilate.
- Refrigerator storage: an unopened bottle keeps longer in a fridge — but always let it return to room temperature before opening, or condensation will cure it inside the bottle.
