I need help with super glue accelerator

[Cincyslots]

I doubt this is the place for this but I wasn't sure where to put it. Since this is probably the most popular page, I'll start here. Feel free to move.

OK, I've been using super glue gap filler to smooth out the divits in Carrera rims. I put the super glue gap filler on, spray the super glue accelerator on it and done. Works great. Now using the exact same bottles the super glue accelerator has started putting bubbles or spreading the super glue. Has anyone come across this?? Why is this happening? The reason I think it's the super glue accelerator is because it's doing it to the gap filler, spreading and the thin super glue, bubbles. Very strange.

Thanks,
Bruce

How old is the gap filler? Once it is opened the clock starts ticking with any type of Superglue. You should probably try using fresh stuff.

All 3 bottles were purchased less than 2 weeks ago.

I have to sand either way so that's not a problem. I fill the gap and put it on the tire truer to round it off.

Thanks,

I use both methods that Bibbster and Balsaworks have mention on all my cars.
Which way I go depends on the how deep the depression is in the body or rims.
And the baking soda works better than micro balloons that I use to use and is way cheaper.

Hmm, it just seems weird that it started doing exactly what balsaworks described.

The reason I really need the spray over the power is I use it on my front wheels. I put the front axle on the truer, smear a thin layer of CA on the tire with a pad at lower RPM's. Then I spray them to cure and lastly use a VERY fine sand paper to smooth them out. This is awesome and only takes a few minutes start to finish. Of course I true the tires first.
