RE: CA glue
I just don't bother with thick CA. If I need the additional working time, its wood glue or gorilla glue -I can wait. If I need it quick, its thin or medium CA.
I've also quit using the top of the bottle to apply the glue. I buy the applicators at the LHS for $.49. When I'm done, I just rinse it out with acetone. This way, the bottle top doesn't get all gooped up, and fits nice and tight everytime. My shop is in the basement where its always between 65 and 75 degrees, so I don't bother keeping it in the fridge. I usually just buy a new bottle at the start of a new build anyway.
