All I ever hear and read about is some stuff called CA. Judging by the context of what I've been reading it's some sort of adhesive?

Hot stuff was one of the first CA glues to come out years ago, and yes, it was a miracle it seemed. CA is the short term for cyanoacrylate. Hope I spelled it correctly as I'm at work
Basically it is the "super glue" for us hobbyists. Here's a link to get you started ->hotstuff

CA is cyno... err what bob_nj said.

its crazyglue. we just get it in bigger bottles.

glues balsa to skin, skin to skin, skin to the workbench, skin to everything else, all instantly.

great stuff.

alot of diffrent brands. I use ZAP brand myself because thats what I can get at the LHS. and you can find it in just about any hobby store.

That is great stuff when in the right hands, but give it to me and you will see me driving to the hobby store with hands glued together to get some debonder. But if you put it where its supposed to go it works great!!!!!!!

You must just be reading and not flying? Get yourself a kit and some CA. It will stick on you.
