Traditional wood glue and slow build progress is all part of the hobby (gives you time to think about the design too), why does everything have to be fast these days?
Well in spite of the problems I now have with CA there are times it would be great to be able to use the thin stuff. Your fingers have a dexterity that can't be matched when handling some small or hard to reach parts.

I do agree though that it's really no problem building without benefit of thin CA as long as you plan ahead.

I am sure I created my sensitivity to the CA because I was careless in its use. However if the education had been there, either by the LHS or at the internet sites I might well of had the common sense to be more cautious. This is why I feel the adhesive should have a description of the possible (probable) problems that can develop unless you take extra precautions. A lot more caution on my part would most likely have headed off the allergy.

On the other hand, since I've never been allergic to anything that I know of, including poison oak, I may have been every bit as careless thinking "yes, yes, but it won't happen to me" (:-)
