Be Careful - Hazards of Instant CA-Glue

Thanks for the info, Thomas. I’ll give it a try.
Hi Cobra--

I buy it locally at a jewelers supply shop but it seems to be widely available through Amazon, Temu, etc. I haven't found any drawbacks so far except that it only seems to come in 1/3 oz tubes, but a little goes a long way and the applicator ensures you don't waste any. I've used 3 tubes to do the work on the SoS and you can see from the pic, that's a lot of gluing! It sets fast, is very strong, doesn't stick fingers, low odour. I think you'll find it a huge improvement over CA.
It's also good as a 'canopy' cement for plastic 'glass', planes & locos, & quarter galleries. Does not attack the 'glass'.
