Most of its covered already, just a few more comments.

1. The fumes will give you a NASTY headache, especially the morning after. Be sure to work in a well ventialted area and if possible keep your face away from the fumes.

1a. CA is death to foam parts. It will melt foam into total and complete non existance. Make sure that if you have any type of foam in your airplane, keep the CA at least 1" away. If you put one drop on a piece of styrofoam, it will continue to melt through until it hits something solid. Then the vapors will spread out and take out any foam within an inch or two or where the liquid passed.

2. There is such thing as "odorless" or foam safe CA. It works pretty well but it is not QUITE as strong as the regular stuff. I build my foamie 3D electric planes with odorless CA and it works very well.

There are accelerators for CA, but like other glues if you accelerate them they are a little bit more brittle than without.

3. CA will attack plastics and severly discolor or "frost" them. The gases will cause an unremoveable whitish haze on the surface. Does the same thing to monokote and stuff. I keep a little debonder handy when Im working with CA just in case it goes where I dont want it to go. The thin stuff runs easier than water so you have to be really careful with it.

4. If you are doing CA hinges a good way to do it is with a capillary tube.. Your LHS should have some tiny tube that you can feed into the CA bottle that will allow you to "inject" the CA precisely where you want it. IE into a CA hinge slot. One thing the guy at the LHS taught me when I 1st got into modeling was to cut the hinge slot and then drill a 1/16" hole stright down into the middle of the hinge. This allows you to slip the capillary tube down in between the hinge and the wood on either side to get the glue down "in there" a little bit.

I love CA and I love fast drying epoxies, well,,, 15 minute epoxy. I dont use the 5 minute stuff unless I need to make an elergency repair. I like to fly more than build,, if you take the time to make good fits on your joints the faster stuff will last forever.
