did i screw up big time????
 
I just finished building the fuse on an extra 300 from greatplanes, and it seemed like the CA wasnt driying very fast. so i looked at the bottle and the SOB was foam safe CA, i swear it was in the same kind of bottle as normal CA. will it bond ok to the balsa or am i going to have to re build it????[:@]

It'll work ok. I'd wick some thin ca around as much as you can to be on the safe side

Foam Safe C/A is just C/A without the odor. Lots of guys with C/A alergies use it because of less fumes. It does tend to take a bit longer to set, but a little kicker will help. It also cost about twice as much as regular C/A

Your plane is ruined.

Just kidding. Let glue dry and it be fine.

CA dosen't dry, it catalizes due to trace moisture in the surface to be glued but foam safe needs a little help in that process. As Terry said, use a little kicker and you'll be fine.;)
