3M 7100002517 Instant Adhesive CA50 Gel Clear 20 Gram

Product Description

The 3M 7100002517 is a high-viscosity, surface-insensitive cyanoacrylate instant adhesive gel formulated for bonding in non-sag vertical applications. Sold under the Scotch-Weld CA50 Gel designation, this clear adhesive delivers a very slow cure rate that provides extended repositioning time before final set. It fills gaps up to 0.020 inches, making it suitable for parts that do not mate perfectly flush. The gel consistency resists running on inclined or vertical surfaces during assembly, a critical performance trait for field and production use. Each unit contains 20 grams of adhesive.

This adhesive is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications where a standard low-viscosity cyanoacrylate would run or fail to bridge gaps. Typical uses include bonding rubber, plastics, metals, and ceramics in HVAC cabinet assembly, electrical enclosure repair, plumbing fixture bonding, and general maintenance tasks. The slow cure rate makes it well suited for larger bonding areas or assemblies that require alignment before the adhesive sets. It is appropriate for both shop and field use by technicians who need controlled application in tight or vertical spaces.

Key Features

• High-viscosity gel formula resists sagging on vertical and inclined surfaces
• Gap-filling capability up to 0.020 inches for imperfect mating surfaces
• Very slow cure rate allows extended repositioning time during assembly
• Surface-insensitive formulation bonds across a variety of substrates
• Clear adhesive finish for clean, low-visibility bond lines
• 20-gram unit size suitable for repeated field or bench use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style instant adhesive gel for use on rubber, plastics, metals, and ceramics in maintenance, repair, and assembly applications across trade and industrial environments.

Installation Notes

Application should be performed by trained technicians familiar with cyanoacrylate adhesives and applicable workplace safety standards. Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of oil or loose material before adhesive is applied. Avoid contact with skin and eyes during use, and ensure adequate ventilation in enclosed spaces. Allow full cure time before applying load to the bonded assembly.
