Stick with the PVA type glues that you have used. Use CA for tacking problem bends. If used in a confined area ie:workshop, you will end up with health problems with the use of CA's.

In the above statement, the following is not FACT: "If used in a confined area ie:workshop, you will end up with health problems with the use of CA's".

I've used CAs of all sorts and manufacture, since the mid 1970s without problems and I occasionally can have asthma symptoms due to allergies to dust or some types of smoke. However, I have never had a reaction to CA fumes!

It's also a known fact that using CA correctly is the lightest method of construction there is. How can it not be; one tiny drop of CA, in comparison to a glop of other types of adhesives.

Having said the above, I think a person should use the adhesive they feel the most comfortable using. I have no problem with using and do use: CA, Epoxy, alphatic or poly types, Gorilla Glue, Ambroids, Duco, plastic glues, etc.
