It targets bonding tasks that demand exact placement and minimal spread — the right tool for delicate repairs on ceramics, jewellery, electronics, and intricate craft projects where a standard applicator would put adhesive in the wrong place. The product carries code 103447 and barcode 9300697127860, with the synonym "Selleys Fix&Go Control 3g" reflecting its controlled application design (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). Broad-application super glues prioritise speed or surface coverage. This one puts control first — place adhesive exactly where it needs to go, without contaminating adjacent surfaces or wasting material on oversized beads. For anyone working on household repairs, hobby projects, or small-scale professional tasks, this product sits at the intersection of industrial-strength chemistry and practical, consumer-friendly packaging. The 3-gram format delivers enough material for multiple precision repairs while keeping the adhesive stable and the container easy to store. ## Chemistry & composition The active bonding agent is ethyl cyanoacrylate, present at concentrations exceeding 60% by weight (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). Ethyl cyanoacrylate belongs to the alkyl cyanoacrylate monomer family. These monomers polymerise rapidly when they contact trace moisture — moisture present on virtually every surface, including the humidity already in the air around you. This specific variant — ethyl rather than methyl or butyl — delivers a balanced performance profile. The ethyl ester chain cures faster than longer-chain variants while keeping volatility and odour lower than methyl cyanoacrylate. When the liquid adhesive contacts a surface, hydroxyl ions from moisture trigger anionic polymerisation. The monomer transforms into long, rigid polymer chains that lock into surface irregularities at the microscopic level, building a genuinely strong bond. The remaining ingredients, listed as non-hazardous components below reporting limits, include stabilisers that prevent premature polymerisation in the bottle, viscosity modifiers that maintain consistent flow, and trace radical inhibitors (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). These additives are trade secrets, but they perform critical roles: keeping the adhesive liquid inside the container during storage and ensuring reliable, consistent dispensing from the first use to the last. Understanding this chemistry explains why cyanoacrylate adhesives perform poorly on completely dry surfaces or acidic materials that lack the hydroxyl groups needed to trigger polymerisation. It also explains why activators and primers exist for certain applications — they supply the moisture or alkaline conditions that drive the curing reaction forward. ## Technical specifications & performance characteristics Selleys Fix & Go High Precision is classified as a Category 4 Flammable Liquid under GHS criteria, carrying hazard statement H227: "Combustible liquid" (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). The flash point sits at 80–93.4°C, meaning the adhesive requires genuinely elevated temperatures before vapours can ignite. At normal room temperatures, fire risk is minimal — keep the adhesive away from open flames, hot surfaces, and heat sources during application and storage. The product is registered under Australian poison schedule S5 (Caution), meaning it requires cautionary labelling but is available for general retail sale (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). For storage and handling, it is classified as a C1 Combustible Liquid under AS 1940 standards (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). Commercial and industrial settings must meet specific storage requirements under this classification. Residential users need to ensure proper ventilation and temperature control. The adhesive is not classified as Dangerous Goods under the Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road & Rail or New Zealand NZS5433 standards (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). That simplifies purchasing, shipping, and handling for retailers and end users alike — no hazmat transport protocols, no specialised carrier arrangements required. The 3-gram net weight suits precision work well. Larger formats risk hardening before the adhesive is fully consumed. This compact quantity aligns with how precision repairs actually get done — numerous small applications over time, not large-surface bonding in a single session. ## Key features & their benefits The defining feature of this product is its precision delivery system, engineered to deposit controlled amounts of adhesive exactly where required. The fine-tip applicator restricts flow rate and bead size, eliminating the common problem of excess adhesive spreading beyond the intended bond line. That precision matters when repairing fine china, reassembling broken jewellery chains, or securing miniature components — situations where even a millimetre of overflow produces a visually unacceptable or mechanically problematic result. The ethyl cyanoacrylate formulation achieves fixture in 10 seconds (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). That fast fixture time removes the need for prolonged clamping or holding, which is a real advantage when repairing items that resist clamping or when working on vertical surfaces where gravity would otherwise pull parts apart before the adhesive sets. The high cyanoacrylate concentration (>60% w/w) builds strong bonds even across the thin film thickness typical of precision applications (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). On clean, close-fitting surfaces, properly applied cyanoacrylate bonds frequently exceed the strength of the substrate materials themselves — when the joint is tested to destruction, the material breaks before the bond does. The compact bottle with its stand-up design keeps the container stable on work surfaces, reducing spill risk during active projects. The screw cap creates an airtight seal that blocks moisture ingress, which is the primary cause of premature curing inside the container. ## Practical applications & material compatibility Selleys Fix & Go High Precision performs best where bond line appearance, component size, or spatial constraints demand exact adhesive placement. Ceramic repairs are a prime use case: reassembling broken porcelain figurines, reattaching cup handles, or reconstructing decorative pottery all require invisible bond lines that precision application makes achievable. The thin adhesive film cures nearly transparent, and the fine applicator prevents the squeeze-out that would otherwise need scraping or solvent cleanup. Jewellery repair is another core application. Reattaching earring posts, securing loose gemstone settings, or mending broken chain links demands adhesive that bonds metal-to-metal or metal-to-stone interfaces without visible residue. The precision tip deposits adhesive inside small recesses or onto curved surfaces measuring only millimetres across. Electronic device repairs benefit from controlled application when securing wire connections, reattaching small plastic clips, or bonding component housings. Excess adhesive in electronics creates short circuits, interferes with moving parts, or leaves cosmetically unacceptable residues on visible surfaces. The high-precision applicator keeps adhesive at the exact bond interface, where it belongs. Hobby and craft applications include model building, where securing miniature parts requires adhesive volumes measured in microlitres. Musical instrument repairs — reattaching bridge components or securing inlay work — demand both strong bonds and invisible application. This product handles both. Cyanoacrylates bond well to non-porous materials: metals, hard plastics, rubber, and glazed ceramics. They perform poorly on polyethylene, polypropylene, silicone, and Teflon without surface preparation or primers — these materials lack the surface energy and hydroxyl groups needed for adhesive wetting and polymerisation. Porous materials like wood, leather, or unglazed ceramics can be bonded, but may require multiple applications as the initial adhesive wicks into the substrate rather than staying on the surface. ## Application guidance & best practices Surface preparation determines bond success. Clean both surfaces with isopropyl alcohol or a similar solvent to remove oils, dust, moisture, and release agents. Allow surfaces to dry completely — while cyanoacrylates cure via moisture, excess water on the surface triggers premature polymerisation before parts are joined, producing a weak bond. For best results, roughen surfaces with fine sandpaper to increase surface area and mechanical interlocking. Apply adhesive to one surface only. The precision applicator gives you control over dispensing — squeeze the bottle gently while moving the tip along the bond line to lay down a thin, even bead. For very small parts, touch the applicator tip briefly to the surface to deposit a minimal amount rather than squeezing. Less adhesive is always better with cyanoacrylate. Excess material does not improve bond strength and creates cleanup problems. Join components within 10 seconds of adhesive application. Align components accurately before contact — repositioning after initial contact produces weakened bonds or visible adhesive strings. Apply firm, even pressure for 30–60 seconds. For larger or heavier parts, maintain pressure for up to two minutes to give the adhesive enough initial cure to hold the component's weight without separation. Avoid pressure that squeezes adhesive out of the joint. Squeeze-out wastes material, creates visible bond lines, and bonds skin if fingers contact the extruded adhesive. If squeeze-out occurs, allow it to cure completely before attempting removal — scraping wet cyanoacrylate spreads it further. Allow 24 hours for full cure before subjecting the bond to stress, impact, or elevated temperatures. Cyanoacrylates reach handling strength in minutes, but complete polymerisation and maximum bond strength develop over hours. Loading the joint prematurely risks failure. Work in well-ventilated areas. The adhesive releases vapours during application and cure that cause respiratory irritation, as indicated by hazard statement H335 (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). Open windows or run fans to maintain air circulation, particularly during extended repair sessions involving multiple applications. ## Safety considerations & hazard management Selleys Fix & Go High Precision carries four primary hazard classifications. The product causes skin irritation (H315), serious eye irritation (H319), may cause respiratory irritation (H335), and is a combustible liquid (H227) (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). These hazards come from the reactive nature of cyanoacrylate chemistry and the volatile components in the formulation. Understand them, manage them, and the product performs safely and reliably. Skin contact is the most common exposure route. Precautionary statement P280 requires wearing protective gloves and protective clothing during use (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). Nitrile rubber gloves are suitable for intermittent contact, though verify glove compatibility based on specific construction and local conditions (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). Cyanoacrylate bonds skin instantly. Bonded fingers need gentle separation using warm soapy water — not pulling, which tears skin. If skin contact occurs, response procedure P302+P352 directs washing with plenty of water and soap (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). If skin irritation develops, precaution P332+P313 requires medical advice or attention (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). Eye protection is mandatory, as directed by P280 (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). Chemical goggles or safety glasses with side shields block vapour exposure and prevent adhesive droplets from contacting eyes during application. If eye contact occurs despite precautions, response procedure P305+P351+P338 requires rinsing cautiously with water for several minutes while removing contact lenses if present and easy to do (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). If eye irritation persists, P337+P313 requires medical advice or attention (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). Respiratory protection becomes necessary in poorly ventilated spaces or during extended use. The hazard classification for respiratory tract irritation (Category 3) and precautionary statement P280 requiring a suitable respirator confirm that vapour exposure causes real discomfort or harm (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). If inhalation causes symptoms, response procedure P304+P340 directs moving the person to fresh air and keeping them comfortable for breathing (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). If symptoms persist, P312 requires calling a poison centre or doctor (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). In case of ingestion — most likely in households with children — rinse the mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, and give a glass of water to drink (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious patient (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). If vomiting occurs, give additional water and seek medical advice (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). The product's Poison Schedule S5 classification and precautionary statements P102 and P103 emphasise keeping the adhesive out of reach of children and reading all instructions carefully (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). For product safety or emergency enquiries, contact Selleys directly at 1800 220 770 (Australia) or 0800 220 770 (New Zealand) (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). For poisoning emergencies, call the Poisons Information Centre at 131 126 (Australia) or 0800 764 766 (New Zealand). In life-threatening emergencies, call 000 (Australia) or 111 (New Zealand) immediately. Contaminated clothing must be removed and washed before reuse, as specified by precaution P362+P364 (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking, or using the toilet when working with this adhesive (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). ## Storage requirements & shelf life management Proper storage preserves adhesive performance and prevents safety hazards. Precautionary statement P403+P233 requires storing the product in a well-ventilated place with the container kept tightly closed (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). Ventilation prevents vapour accumulation that causes respiratory irritation in occupied spaces. A tightly closed container blocks moisture ingress, which would cause the adhesive to polymerise and harden inside the bottle before it reaches the job. Temperature control matters. Precaution P403+P235 requires storing in a well-ventilated place while keeping cool (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). Elevated temperatures accelerate chemical degradation and increase internal pressure from thermal expansion and vapour generation. Store below 25°C in residential settings. Keep the product out of hot attics, vehicles, and direct sunlight. Refrigeration extends shelf life but requires allowing the container to return to room temperature before opening — this prevents condensation from forming inside the bottle and triggering premature cure. Security requirements are set by P405: store locked up (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). This precaution prevents unauthorised access, particularly by children, and complies with the S5 Poison Schedule classification. In professional or commercial settings, the C1 Combustible Liquid classification under AS 1940 may impose additional requirements for segregated storage, signage, and spill containment (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). Monitor shelf life to ensure you are always working with adhesive at full performance. Indicators of degraded product include thickening liquid, resistance to dispensing, discolouration, or adhesive that cures slowly or incompletely. Once opened, cyanoacrylates maintain performance for 4–8 weeks when properly sealed and stored. Unopened containers stored under ideal conditions remain viable for 12–18 months — check manufacturer date codes for specific guidance. Cap maintenance extends usability. After each use, wipe the applicator tip and threads with a cloth before recapping. Cured adhesive on the threads prevents a proper seal and allows moisture ingress. If the cap bonds to the bottle, do not force it. Apply gentle heat with warm water or a hair dryer to soften the cured adhesive, then twist carefully. ## Fire safety & emergency response Selleys Fix & Go High Precision is classified as a combustible liquid under H227, requiring elevated temperatures before ignition becomes possible (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). Normal household use presents minimal fire risk, but keep the product away from heat sources, sparks, and open flames during application and storage. If the material becomes involved in a fire, suitable extinguishing media include water fog (or fine water spray if fog is unavailable), alcohol-resistant foam, standard foam, or dry agents such as carbon dioxide or dry chemical powder (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). The specific reference to alcohol-resistant foam addresses the product's chemical composition — standard firefighting foam may not effectively suppress fires involving certain organic solvents without alcohol-resistant formulations. A critical hazard during combustion is toxic fume generation. The material emits toxic fumes when burning or decomposing (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). Cyanoacrylate combustion produces hydrogen cyanide gas, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide — all acutely toxic inhalation hazards. Firefighters must wear self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing where exposure risk exists (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). For spill management, evacuate unnecessary personnel and ventilate the area. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including nitrile gloves, safety glasses, and respiratory protection in confined spaces. Absorb liquid spills with inert materials like sand or vermiculite — never use sawdust or other combustible absorbents with combustible liquids. Collect absorbed material in sealed containers for disposal. Clean residual contamination with water and detergent. Keep material out of drains and waterways. ## Disposal & environmental considerations Precautionary statement P501 requires disposing of contents and container in accordance with local, regional, national, and international regulations (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_SUPER_GLUE_HIGH_PRECISION-AUS_GHS.pdf). Never dispose of liquid adhesive down household drains, toilets, or into the environment. Cyanoacrylates polymerise in aquatic environments, harming marine organisms and contaminating water supplies. For household quantities, contact local waste management authorities to find out whether the product qualifies for hazardous household waste collection programmes. Many municipalities run periodic collection events for combustible liquids, poisons, and reactive chemicals. Where no such programme exists, spread small quantities thinly on cardboard in a well-ventilated outdoor area, allow to cure completely, then dispose of the solidified material with regular rubbish — confirm with local regulations first. Commercial and industrial users must classify the waste stream appropriately. Uncured liquid adhesive may require disposal as hazardous waste given its reactive nature and poison schedule classification. Cured adhesive loses its hazardous characteristics through polymerisation and typically qualifies as non-hazardous solid waste, though specific regulations vary by jurisdiction. Empty containers retain adhesive residue. Rinse containers thoroughly with acetone (if permitted by local regulations) to remove cured material, allow solvent to evaporate, then recycle or dispose of containers according to local requirements for contaminated packaging. Never reuse adhesive containers for food, beverages, or other consumer products. ## Troubleshooting common application issues Weak bonds despite proper surface preparation typically point to insufficient clamping pressure or premature loading. Cyanoacrylates require intimate surface contact to reach maximum strength — gaps larger than 0.1 mm significantly reduce bond performance. Apply firm pressure during initial cure and allow the full 24-hour cure period before stressing the joint. Bonds that give way under impact or vibration reveal a known characteristic of standard cyanoacrylates: they cure to rigid, somewhat brittle polymers. For applications requiring impact resistance or flexibility, consider whether a different adhesive family — epoxy or polyurethane — better suits the stress profile. Toughened cyanoacrylate formulations engineered specifically for shock resistance are also worth investigating for these applications. White "blooming" or "frosting" around bond lines occurs when cyanoacrylate vapours cure on adjacent surfaces due to atmospheric moisture. This cosmetic issue appears most prominently on dark or glossy surfaces. Minimise blooming by using minimal adhesive quantities, working in well-ventilated areas where vapours disperse quickly, and avoiding application in high-humidity environments. Remove blooming by polishing carefully with fine compound or, where the substrate allows, wiping with acetone on a cotton swab. Adhesive that won't dispense from the bottle indicates cured material blocking the applicator tip or cap threads. Soak the blocked tip in acetone for 5–10 minutes to dissolve cured adhesive, then clear the opening with a pin or fine wire. Prevention is straightforward: wipe the tip clean after each use and ensure the cap creates an airtight seal. Slow curing or tacky surfaces that won't harden indicate either expired adhesive with degraded initiators, extremely dry environmental conditions lacking moisture to trigger polymerisation, or application to acidic surfaces that inhibit the cure mechanism. Test the adhesive on a known-good substrate — clean metal or glass — to confirm viability. If curing proceeds normally, the substrate needs surface treatment or a different adhesive chemistry. Skin bonding accidents resolve through patient soaking in warm soapy water. Do not pull bonded skin apart forcefully — this tears tissue. Work the bond line gently while submerged in water, allowing soap to penetrate. The bond weakens over 5–15 minutes of soaking. For stubborn bonds, apply petroleum jelly to the area and continue gentle working motions. ## How this product fits in the range Selleys Fix & Go High Precision Bottle Super Glue sits within a comprehensive super glue portfolio designed to match the right product to the right application.

Selleys is broadly known for household repair and maintenance products across Australia, and its adhesives range — catalogued under the Home & Garden > Adhesives & Glues category — is one of its core product families. This particular product is available as a 3g container, also referenced in product documentation under the name Selleys Fix&Go Control 3g, suggesting the Fix & Go line includes variants distinguished by format and application method rather than chemistry alone. What sets this product apart within its category is the precision nozzle, which is designed for controlled, targeted application on fine or delicate work. It uses ethyl cyanoacrylate as its active ingredient — the same fast-curing compound found in most consumer super glues — but the high-precision delivery format makes it better suited to small-surface tasks like ceramic repairs, jewellery bonding, and detailed work on metal, wood, paper, or leather. It is not compatible with polyethylene or polypropylene plastics, and is intended for interior use only. The adhesive sets in approximately 10 seconds and dries clear. For anyone using this product, a few adjacent product types are worth considering. Because cyanoacrylate bonds skin rapidly, nitrile or protective gloves are a practical companion purchase. Surface cleanliness is critical for a strong bond, so a household degreaser or isopropyl alcohol wipe for pre-cleaning bonding surfaces is a sensible pairing. Given the product's hazard classification — including respiratory tract irritation potential — adequate ventilation or a basic respirator may also be appropriate depending on the workspace. Within the broader Selleys adhesives range, this product occupies a specialist niche: it is not a general-purpose gap-filling adhesive, but rather a precision tool for fine bonding tasks where accuracy of placement matters more than volume of adhesive applied.
