Default RE: CA QUESTION......HELP

gus has given you great advice on glues, but I'll add my 2 cents worth.

I use a LOT more thin CA than medium (or thick). In fact, I doubt that I'll ever buy thick again. I apply thin CA differently than gus though; while the joint to be glued really DOES need to be tight, I never "soak" the joint with CA. Rather, I apply a drop or two to each joint, even joints that are two inches long require no more than two or three drops. Holding the parts so the joint is vertical ensures that the CA will flow down the full length and "wick" into the wood.

Good luck with your kit.
