Yes it is the same with the exception that it has no odor or very little, I could not smell it and it didn’t burn my nose like regular CA. In addition it is low bloom, meaning it won’t turn white and make your work look ugly! I only use it to glue metal to wood. And sometimes to plank the hull without using clamps.

It is good to see that you can progress again in a safe manner. I am fortunate not to be allergic to the adhesives and cannot smell any of them. Not quite the same when I have to remove something that I set with the CA when I use acetone to soften it up. That I do smell as well as the contact hazard that it may pose to my fingers and if inhaled. Oh well, at this stage of life pass some things by that I would not have earlier.

I am very happy, that you have found a CA glue, which is working for you
I'll try it. It would come in handy for fixing ropes without wearing a mask...
Thank you! It is no fun to work with a respirator on, just because I need to use CA glue!I am very happy, that you have found a CA glue, which is working for you
I mentioned it, because I know you have the same problem with allergic reactions, that give you flu like symptoms. So I am hoping it will work for you too. You still need adequate ventilation, but being low odor and low bloom, it is much better to work with!
Thank you Jimsky, those look promising too! As long as it is low odor and low bloom, then it should be the same result.Gentlemen, have you ever heard about Mercury Adhesives? I am using their line of products for a very long time. They have a full line of CA glue from very thin to very thick, they will never clog and dries transparent. I encourage you to check to try their glues.

I use Mercury CA - low odor they are not. Almost killed me...
. Other than that I have found them to be the best on the market.
I'll have to try it also, I'm in the middle of CA hell right now gluing down veneer strips. I'm especially interested in the low bloom aspect. It seems to happen when the stuff gets too close to moisture which is often since I soak the planks.
Nicely done. The assembly that I am facing is on the foremast boom with the two narrow metal bands supporting the vertical rod which engages the boom. YQ worked around that it seems with the wood parts but metal bands wrapped and fastened on the fore side, per the elevation detail will likely take me few attempts. Your upper wire bale is very precise and symmetrical. Well done. Rich
Henry, so all Americans are Europeans. If you really dig deeper. Not many people think about it like Dean.
Perhaps I think too much?Henry, so all Americans are Europeans. If you really dig deeper. Not many people think about it like Dean.
I've been using Gorilla CA for quite some time now - completely odorless. Can't stand epoxy.Gentlemen, have you ever heard about Mercury Adhesives?
