RE: What are the alternatives to CA and how do you use them?
My guess is that you are probably using too much CA glue and all the excess is running off and sticking things together that you don't want stuck together. There are specially designed tips for the thin CA bottle that have very small holes so only a drop or two can come out at a time. When the tip clogs up, just cut off the very end. There are also squeeze types, sort of like a medicine dropper, that work well. Watch closely and use just enough CA to be absorbed into the wood.
