Someday, somebody is going to dip their cookie in the wrong milk. Please take caution when you hear "some of this with some of that, will do the trick". C/A is DANGEROUS stuff. I remember an article about a well known RC'er who died in his basement when some CA reacted with some curing epoxy on the airframe and started a fire. I keep all my C/A's in a Tupperware container on the bench just in case they topple and spill. The stuff can start a fire with the heat generated from a simple spill. I ran some excess thin C/A down the inside of a sheeted leading edge one time and had smoke pouring out the end of the d-tube. I had to drop the wing it was so hot. Think how the whole bottle reacts to mixing with something that kicks it off.
