IC-Gel is a cyanoacrylate paste that is extremely thick and comes in an applicator tube, similar to toothpaste. It has the same bonding and curing time characteristics as Maxi-Cure. IC-Gel, however, can be applied to a vertical surface and will stay in place. It will not run. This can be very convenient for some assembly applications. Applying CA to the bottom of a horizontal surface, such as a ceiling, can be very difficult with anything other than a full standard CA bottle. IC-Gel can be applied at any angle with just a squeeze of the tube. The gel does, however, have a tendency to continue to come out of the tube for about a second after pressure is released, so this must be taken into account when applying the exact amount of IC-Gel you want.

IC-Gel is an excellent putty for plastic models. It will fill any void and can be formed into many shapes. Applying Insta-Cure allows IC-Gel to be sanded or filed to the final shape in less than 20 seconds. Autobody repairers have finished their jobs in a fraction of the time by using IC-Gel, with the added advantage over normal body putties of superior bonding to metal surfaces.

IC-Gel's most popular application is for bonding fragments of live coral (frags) to underwater rocks in aquariums. It has proven to be non-toxic to aquatic organisms and provides instant bonding for the propagation of the coral. IC-Gel has a superior shelf life of over three years, and its application nozzle makes it the easiest of all CAs to apply.
