Default Glueing With CA

I have a fundamental question regarding gluing parts together using CA glues. Using building a wing as an example, do you just tack everything together, remove it from the building board, then go back and glue every joint? Or do you glue all the joints while it is still on the building board? I've found that if I glue ever joint while it is still on the board, I tend to over glue the ribs to the spar resting on the plans. This makes it difficult to sand that side of the wing.

Default RE: Glueing With CA

when i started out i glued everything permanently in order of building. now i usually just tack everything of a section that i'm working on (wing half, fuse half, etc.) and then go back over all the joints once i'm satisfied with all part's fit. i finally got tired of having to cut out parts because other parts didn't fit quite right. with tacking it's much easier to do.
