I 'm not really a big fan of Ca glue either and I olso like the Super Phatic . the only trouble I have with it is keeping the tip clear . It sets up pretty quick and is at least as strong as the material that it is sticking together . I mostly use titebond #2 . I have some syringes that I fill up that I use for dispensing it . I can get it in tight spots and control how much I use . You haven't really given us much information as to what the problem really is and what you are doing . Are you covering a set of plans on your building board with a see thru film ? Which wood are you having the problem with ? Is it sticking to your model or the building board ? Ca is awful stuff in some ways . It is as hard as glass once it has set . Very hard to sand . You stick to it better than anything and if you try to use your fingers to hold things in place you wreck stuff trying to let go . I found Ca stuck wax paper to my models when I had them pinned down over my plans Plus it would wick thru the pin holes and stick the wax paper to the plans . Plus Wax paper is porus and Ca seeps thru it so it is very important not to over glue . And that is easier said than done . All reasons why I mostly use titebond ..I do use Ca for part of my wing builds.
