What a bunch of wussies. Do it right the first time!

MikeL said it best, DON'T USE SO MUCH!

A Little dab'll do ya!
for once we agree.

if you're getting enough fumes it's burning your eyes when building you're using way to much and that is the most likely reason for all the reports of 'difficult sanding' I've never had a problem sanding CA glued joints. I've covered a great many planes for people learning to build and the globs i notice all to often are from the use of kicker on excessive glued joints where the glue runs when kicked and hardens as a drip or where it accumulates where it touches the plan protection on wings. as for the plan protection, i like the waxed paper simply to keep the plan clean, you shouldn't be applying enough glue that it runs off what you're gluing onto the plans.....

on the v/s in strength IMO the CA is Much stronger and it builds lighter then wood glues.
