Default RE: What are the alternatives to CA and how do you use them?

WOW...what a healthy response to a very good question. I for one have been flying ARFS since I got back into the hobby. The only thing I have used is thin CA for wicking hinges and epoxy for mating stabs and wing halves. The last kit I built was 25 years ago and I don't remember CA as an option then. I think I used good ol' white glue. Which brings me to MY question about glues. Aside from the obvious advantages to CA (fast cure time) and epoxy ( moderate cure times) will white wood glue such as the Elmers variety cure as strong as CA/epoxy, be as fuel resistant and last forever (or at least last longer than me)?
