I know there is another GluBoost thread, but not sure if people will sill look at it. I'm in Hawaii and have a chance to have someone bring me some GluBoost products. Need to figure it out by Monday.Shipping is a big deal to Hawaii, and many suppliers won't ship here. I see great claims about GluBoost, so I'd like to try it. I've been using Starboard superglue for many, many years. I'm happy with Starboard and don't know if the GluBoost superglue is any different, but it sounds like their accelerator might be and maybe the Fill product is useful. So, the question is, which products should I try? I no longer do any repair work, only build, use clear Nitro finishes on my acoustic instruments, and clear catalyzed lacquer on some of my lap steels. Thanks, Bob

The accelerator is all you have heard and is well worth stocking up on. The Fill and Finish is great for touch-ups and filling tiny gaps. I use both all the time. Don't have any experience with their glues, I use Hot Stuff CA's and like them.

I love the fill and finish product from GLu Boost . It is flixible and it works well with the poly finishes. I was skeptical at first but it is pretty good. The activator without reacting to lacquer is a big plus. Like you Bob was a Star bond user for a long time . I also got some medical grade CA that is superior to many of the CA's out there
