Agree with Terrell. Our club requires new guys to contact instructors to set up days and times convenient to both. We use to have "trainer nights", but found the lines waiting weren't working, and the instructors were getting burned out. Now that instructors aren't tied to specific days and times, things seem to be working better.

CA allergies are not unheard of, but aren't terribly common either. Go with the yellow glues and epoxies. Skip the CA.
