This should probably go in the tips forum, but one trick I learned using CA, is to use wax paper, with the waxy side up. The CA won't stick to the wax paper. I saw this tip building a micro plane. I had to join 2 VERY thin pushrods together. I simply laid them on the wax paper, and dropped a bead of CA on the pushrods. It glued the pushrods, but not to the wax paper. Maybe this is widely known, but its the first time I saw it & works great
