Default Glue help!!!

The only thing that I use CA for is hinges! If you are using alaphetic resin glue (titebond) there is no need to use gap filling CA.

After several years of using CA I became allergic to it, if I use CA hinges I open both doors in work shop start up a large fan and leave the area as soon as I have attached the control surface, returning only after several minutes so that the CA has fully cured and even then get runny eyes and nose.

If your joints a good (no gaps) TiteBond will have more strength than CA. When I build I work on several pieces at the same time and complete the model in only a little more time than when I used CA, however this is not an option if you are limited to space.
