FastCap builds tools for the problems that drive woodworkers crazy. Founded by cabinet maker Paul Akers, the company focuses on practical solutions based on real jobsite needs, with many product ideas coming directly from user suggestions. Their lineup targets professional contractors who need speed without sacrificing strength.
The 2P-10 Adhesive System
The 2P-10 system bonds in 10 seconds with 4,000 PSI strength. That’s the headline. But here’s what matters on the job: no clamping. The adhesive comes in four viscosities (thin, medium, thick, gel) with a 2-4 second working time.
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Bond Time | 10 seconds |
| Working Time | 2-4 seconds |
| Full Cure | 30 seconds |
| Bond Strength | 4,000 PSI |
| Shelf Life | 2 years |
Apply adhesive to one surface, spray activator on the other, press together for 10 seconds. Works on wood, metal, stone, ceramics, and plastics.
Contractors rate it 4.9/5 across 36 reviews, calling it “nearly magic” for awkward pieces that resist traditional clamping. The trade-off? The cured joint can be brittle. This isn’t structural adhesive — it’s speed adhesive for trim, repairs, and tight spots where clamps won’t fit.
The formula resists wood’s acidic nature and maintains bond integrity even after five years of water submersion. Triple distilled for purity, it’s made in the USA.
Screw Cover Caps and Finishing Solutions
FastCap’s peel-and-stick PVC screw covers provide instant professional finishing. Skip the wood plugs and sanding. The covers are machinable and cuttable for different screw sizes.
They create a virtually invisible appearance on white surfaces, though some contractors note the adhesive can degrade in high-moisture environments. For dry interior work, they’re faster than any traditional method.
The Broader FastCap Platform
The platform includes adhesives, hardware, edging solutions (Fastcaps & Fastedge), measurement tools, safety equipment, and accessories for installation, joinery, and finishing. With over 2,000 distributors worldwide, FastCap has grown from one cabinet maker’s frustration into a go-to source for specialized solutions.
Known products include Kaizen Foam for tool organization with customizable layered inserts, and measuring tools. The Glu-Bot glue bottles feature a two-chamber system for clean, precise application and spill prevention.
Montana Verdict
The 2P-10 system solves real problems. When traditional wood glue takes 30 minutes to set and needs clamps you don’t have room for, 10-second bonding changes the game. Cold Montana shops make traditional adhesives even slower — the 2P-10 works regardless of temperature.
The brittleness isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. This system trades flexibility for speed. Use it for trim corners, quick repairs, and anywhere you need an instant hold. Keep traditional adhesives for structural work.
FastCap builds tools that emphasize ease of use, cleanliness, and durability. They’re not reinventing the hammer. They’re solving the hundred small problems that waste time on every job.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does the 2P-10 adhesive last once opened?
The 2P-10 adhesive has a 2-year shelf life. The bottles feature no-clog caps that help maintain usability throughout that period. Store in cool, dark conditions for best results.
Q: Can I use 2P-10 on exterior projects?
The adhesive maintains bond integrity even after five years of water submersion. It resists extreme environmental conditions, but the brittleness of the cured joint makes it better suited for protected applications rather than high-stress exterior joints.
Q: What’s included in the 2P-10 kit?
Kits include adhesive bottles in multiple viscosities (thin, medium, thick, gel), activator spray in aerosol form, debonder for removing excess glue, spray nozzle, carrying case, and application instructions.
Q: How does the 2P-10 compare to regular CA glue?
The 2P-10 uses triple-distilled ethyl cyanoacrylate specifically formulated to resist wood’s acidic nature. With 4,000 PSI tensile strength and 10-second cure time when used with activator, it outperforms standard super glues in both speed and strength for woodworking applications.
