Default Thin CA vs Medium CA

I have just brought some thin CA instead of medium CA and was wondering if this will still be okay to use for Spad building?

Thanks,

Troy.

The thickness of the ca is primarily based on the tightness of fit (gap) in the surfaces being glued OR the working time you need, which is only a few seconds with ca.

the thin ca will penetrate and glue tighter joints then the medium. If you are gluing two pieces together and can hold them in place for 30 seconds medium is fine

Doesn't the thickness of the CA also determine how fast it cures?
