Before you use CA try brushing some of the "straight" trim solvent around the edges.
I will be trying the "magic brew" on my next covering job, should be getting around to that
in the next week or two. Have never had to use CA, how do you keep it from fogging up
and ruining a good covering job?

It's not perfect but I use a fine pin to add just enough to seal it up with not overrun.

I put it on pretty heavy so that it will run down all the seams. In the places where it fogs or runs, I come back with some acetone and clean it up.

I got a few more flights on my "test bed" and another piece flew off. I am going to up the amount of trim solvent in the mix and see if that helps. I don't think there is any way to get around having to do some edge sealing though, I think I will try the full strength trim solvent method Bill mentioned. I am horribly alergic to CA and end up with a runny nose and watery eyes for a week after using it.
