Deluxe Materials Tricky Stick

Improves adhesion on difficult materials

Tricky Stick is developed to make cyanoacrylate adhesives effective even on low surface energy and smooth materials. By pre-treating the surface, the adhesive gains improved bonding performance on materials that are otherwise difficult to glue using standard CA adhesives.

Suitable for foam, plastics and technical materials

The product works on a range of materials commonly used in model building, RC applications, hobbies and technical projects. It is especially suitable for EPP and EPO foam as well as plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene. Silicone, fluorinated rubber materials and acetals can also be treated for improved bonding results.

Simple application

Apply a thin layer of Tricky Stick to the surfaces that will be bonded and allow it to dry. Cyanoacrylate adhesive can then be applied to one surface before pressing the parts together until cured. The product is used together with CA adhesives such as Deluxe Materials Rocket Rapid or Rocket Hot and acts as a primer to improve adhesion on difficult-to-bond materials.

For model building, repairs and 3D printing

Tricky Stick is suitable for both hobby use and more technical repairs where standard adhesives struggle to bond properly. It is useful for repairing foam models, plastic components, RC parts and certain 3D printed parts made from difficult-to-bond materials where strong and reliable adhesion is required.

Compatibility

Compatible with cyanoacrylate adhesives and developed for use on materials including:

• EPP and EPO foam
• Polyethylene (PE)
• Polypropylene (PP)
• Silicone
• Fluorinated rubber materials
• Acetals and similar engineering plastics
