I first heard about 2P-10 adhesive on Gary Katz’s website, and ever since I tried my first sample, I’ve been hooked. 2P-10 is a 2-part, 10-second commercial-grade cyanoacrylate adhesive (think Super Glue…on steroids). The liquid adhesive is added to one component, the spray activator is applied to the mating piece, and both are held together firmly for 10 seconds; full cure in 30. This is really more of a tool than a material, simply because it allows you to assemble miter returns and other pieces of trimwork that are too small or fragile to be safely nailed, even with a pinner.

Indeed it is wonderful stuff. I use it for just about all trim joints -- case, base, crown, anything. Be aware, though, that any unused adhesive will become hard as a rock in the bottle, once opened, so buy small bottles, and only what you can use in the near future. Sorry I can't provide accurate timing, but usable life is definitely is less than a year.
I agree 2p10 is awsome! Ever since I used this glue I have used it for just about every thing thats needed gluing or nailing, I havent had any problem with the glue drying.
Here is a tip - to keep the Gel usable indefinitly, keep it in the fridge. I have a years old bottle that still works fine every time I pull it out of the fridge in the garage.
On a second note, regarding FastCap as a company... I have nothing but good experience.
This is my second shout out to them - the first involved a no hassel replacement of a broken tape measure.
This time, I had ordered some magnets for their Powerhead screw system. It took some time for them to ship after I ordered them, and after another month I still hadn't received them. You can tell, I wasn't in a real hurry for them... until then.
I sent in a message over Easter weekend saying I hadn't yet received them. That morning I got an Email back, from Kenzie at FastCap, saying she was going to send another shipment right away, and asked if there was something else i might want to try?
I asked if she could send along a few of the small paowerhead screws... I was thinking she would send a handful... Wedsday comes and so does the magnets, as well as a pack of 200 of those screws!
Once again, FastCap goes out of its way to take care of a problem, and make sure it's customer is satisfied. I even got another email from her today making sure i had received the package.
FastCap is a very good company to do business with!
