miss vegas,
'CA' is cyanoacrilate(sp), or super glue. It comes in several 'styles', very thin, thin, thick, and a gel form. The thinner stuff is good for wood, penitrates pretty well. To fill gaps, or where parts don't meet just exactly right, a thicker type usually works. The 'remover' is the same as finger nail polish remover, or acetone. Not a bad idea to get the remover the same time as the CA.
It isn't the safest stuff in the world but not really all that dangerous either. Some people are alergic to the fumes. The 'accelerator' (Zap?) used with CA also produces fumes that you can have an alergic reaction to. Getting CA on things below neck level isn't always pleasant, getting it on stuff above neck level is very unpleasant and dangerous. Be careful. If you just gotta scratch it, clean your hands first. And if it's something you wouldn't normally scratch in public, be very sure you clean you hands first - LOL!
