Default In kit building when to use CA and when to use epoy?

Which is why wood glue will work just as good if not better than CA on most joints. Any joint that is made using thin only to me is risky. The glue hardens all the surrounding wood making both the joint and the wood around it brittle. You must account for this when building. Titebond does NOT do this. I've spoken to many modeler, and some swear by CA, other with wood glue. It's just a matter of preference, but some glues are better at certain applications... Ask around you'll get millions of opinions and suggestions.
