Helpful Hints…

 

Refrigerate CA

 

You can extend the shelf life of Cyanoacrylate adhesive (CA) by keeping it cool in the refrigerator. What this is really doing is keeping it dry, as CA reacts with moisture to cure.

 

Temperature-Sensitive Items

 

In warm summer months, keep in mind several RC items that deserve a temperature-controlled environment. Batteries left in airplanes that are hung in the garage can get too hot. Fuel can evaporate quicker. Monokote and other film coverings can separate from their backing. CA glues can age quicker. Try to keep these things cool so they’ll be ready to use in good condition when you need them.
