Default RE: Scratch Build - 29" Balsa Stepped Cat

Need help:
Scratch builders; Is one form of CA glue better than another for bonding balsa? I had a bottle of crazy glue (with the little squeeze buttons on the side) and it bonded fast. Not so fast that I couldn't slide the parts together but about as fast as I like, and seems pretty strong. Well as small tubes do it gave up the ghost when I was on a roll. I happened to have a 3 or 4 pack of some other super glue that I bought on the close out rack at Ace one day. Any way I'd swear I was working with water. It will eventually bite but it doesn't seem the same. (still works on my fingers)[&:] Am I nutz? Is there a big diff from one brand to another? Is there a preferred brand for doing this kind of work? I'd appreciate some advice, although I'm probably done for the night. thanks
