I just read about these substances that are usually sold in mini spray bottles or aerosol cans. They are supposed to be very useful when you apply a cyanoacrylate (CA) glue (aka superglue, etc.) over a somewhat large, flat surface, as they enhance the alkaline conditions to speed up the polymerization of the CA.he way they work is through a chemical reaction between the cyanoacrylate and water vapor in the air. So, if you provide more water for the glue to react with, it will set faster. A word of advice: this doesn't mean you can submerge the glue in water to set it.
