Bob Smith Industries ULTRA-CURE is a specialized thick CA (cyanoacrylate) tire glue formulated for bonding foam and rubber tires to RC car and truck wheels. Designed specifically for the stresses of RC racing, ULTRA-CURE creates a flexible, impact-resistant bond that holds up through hard launches, jumps, and high-speed cornering — without the brittleness that standard CA glues develop under vibration and flex.

Best for: Gluing foam tires to 1/10 and 1/8 scale buggy, stadium truck, and touring car wheels. Also bonds rubber tires used in on-road and drift RC applications. A must-have for any RC racer or basher who mounts their own tires at the track or pit.

• Tire-specific formula — bonds foam and rubber to plastic and aluminum wheels
• Flexible cure resists the constant flex and vibration of RC use
• 1 oz bottle — ideal track-side size for pit bags
• Faster cure than standard CA on foam and rubber compounds
• Pairs with BSI INSTA-SET accelerator for instant tack in the pits

For foam body and airframe bonding, choose BSI SUPER-GOLD. For general rigid bonds and scenery work, use BSI INSTA-CURE, INSTA-CURE+, or MAXI-CURE.

Bob Smith Industries SUPER-GOLD+ is a medium-viscosity, foam-safe gap-filling CA (cyanoacrylate) glue that combines the foam-compatibility of SUPER-GOLD with the gap-bridging performance of INSTA-CURE+. Use it where foam or balsa surfaces don't fit perfectly flush, or where you need the CA to stay put rather than wick away into the material.

Best for: Gap-filling in foam RC aircraft fuselages and wings, bonding foam scenery blocks and terrain features, and any foam or balsa joint where a medium-viscosity gap filler is needed. Also bonds wood, ceramics, and most plastics safely.

• Foam-safe gap-filling formula — bridges gaps without attacking foam
• Medium viscosity — stays in the joint, doesn't run or wick away
• 1/2 oz bottle — precise application for detail work
• Pairs with BSI INSTA-SET accelerator for near-instant cure
• Use BSI UN-CURE debonder to reposition before full cure

For thin, wicking foam-safe CA, use BSI SUPER-GOLD. For non-foam gap-filling, BSI INSTA-CURE+ delivers the same performance on standard materials.

Bob Smith Industries SUPER-GOLD is a thin, foam-safe CA (cyanoacrylate) glue — the go-to adhesive for modelers who work with expanded polystyrene (EPS), EPO, Depron, and other foam-based materials. Standard CA glues attack foam on contact, melting and dissolving it instantly. SUPER-GOLD uses a special formula that bonds foam securely without the chemical reaction that destroys it.

Best for: Foam RC aircraft (wings, fuselages, control surfaces), foam terrain and scenery for model railroads and tabletop gaming, and any foam-to-foam or foam-to-wood joint. Low viscosity wicks into seams quickly for a clean, strong bond.

• Foam-safe formula — bonds EPS, EPO, Depron, and similar foams without melting
• Super-thin viscosity — wicks into seams and capillary gaps
• 1/2 oz bottle — precise application for smaller jobs
• Pairs with BSI INSTA-SET accelerator for faster cure
• Use BSI UN-CURE debonder to reposition before full cure

For foam gap-filling and thicker joints, use BSI SUPER-GOLD+. For non-foam applications, BSI INSTA-CURE offers the same thin-viscosity performance.

Bob Smith Industries INSTA-FLEX is a flexible, rubber-toughened CA (cyanoacrylate) glue engineered for materials that need to bend, flex, or absorb vibration after bonding. Unlike rigid CA glues that crack under stress, INSTA-FLEX cures to a semi-flexible bond that moves with the material.

Best for: Bonding vinyl, neoprene, rubber tires on RC cars and trucks, leather, and flexible tubing. Excellent for repairing foam or vinyl RC body panels, attaching rubber gaskets, and any joint that will flex in use. Also works on wood, metal, and rigid plastics where some give is desirable.

• Flexible formula — cured bond flexes instead of cracking under stress
• Super-thin viscosity wicks into tight joints
• 3/4 oz bottle with precision tip
• Ideal for RC body repair and rubber-to-substrate bonding
• Pairs with BSI INSTA-SET accelerator for faster cure

For rigid structural bonds, use BSI INSTA-CURE, INSTA-CURE+, or MAXI-CURE. For foam-safe bonding, choose BSI SUPER-GOLD.
