Default Best brand CA Super Glue for white foam?

I picked up a bottle of CA "foam safe" gap filler super glue to repair my cessna. It cures in 30 seconds, but the glue is not holding the foam together. I used small amounts.

The bottle does not have a brand name on it, actually it has the name of my LHS on it, but there is a web address on the bottle that reads bsiadhesives.com.

What's the best foam safe CA? This stuff does not appear to be working well.

The BSI Adhesives are some of the best ones out right now for the hobbist. Its all I use for my ca glues and holds very well for me. You may have gotten a old bottle.

Maybe I should go and speak with my LHS about it. I was under the impression CA bonds instantly, or at least within the stated cure time.

thanks,

The blue label is almost instant but the gold label almost needs the accelerator to cure.

I've had really great success with the black CA glue, sometimes called tire rubber CA. It's thick and goopy, hasn't eaten through any foam I've used it on so far and realy really really holds.

Which brand? RTL Fasteners? That's the page I get when I click the "CA" link.
