I'm not sure I can build without my thin CA - it's a miracle glue. Anyway, I think I'll still use it to ''tac'' parts on with, then try titebond. It's hard for me to belive that an Elmer's glue product could set up as tightly as a CA. Do yuo guys think a fan and a dust mask will do much about teh CA issue?
As you can see from the varied opinions, the CA adhesives affect everyone differently. Personally,,, I went from having CA not bother me at all to the point that I can get the itching nose and sniffles even though I have a fan blowing it away from the work area and out a window. Even the expensive mask I bought that was supposedly designed to protect against such fumes failed to solve the problem. Now THAT'S a sensitivity (:-).
You CAN do without CA. Titebond III works great, just takes longer (use more pins and clamps). As to the hold, I have built a lot of planes in the last three years and I have yet had one suffer a failed joint.
Judging by the ever more crowded work area in my shed it might be better if some of them would fail.
