Good CA in small bottles!

Alright! Another glue thread! I've been using something called Loctite Quicktite Super Glue Gel. It comes in a weird-looking blue and silver plastic container. This stuff sticks things solidly in about 2 seconds. Great for tacking fins in place to get ready epoxying.

The code shows where the registration was issued, not the country of origin of the product.

just out of curiousity, what's Taiwan?

It's a small island country off the coast of China.

Two notes:

2) On a related line, There is an absolutely phenomenal adhesive by loctite called Black Max (#330) - Get your hands on some if you are doing plastic to plastic bonding.you will love the results.

I've found the supermarket packs to be worthless the second I open them.

Not sure who came out with this first. Got a sample of one of the brands at RCHTA a few years ago. It's a rubberized CA. Great where flexibility is needed, but it seemed to turn into a brick even faster than the low fume stuff. I never found a particular need where it was better than regular CA.

See the first link that I gave; it has a list of the registration country codes.

I wonder why Godzilla snubbed Taiwan for Japan? :)

I found the Loctite 330 works, as you noted where flexibility was the key. I found good success in lightweight bonding of fins where they are surface mount, and you don't want to go through the hassle of epoxy. The nice thing is that the adhesive is somewhat flexible and tends to forgive a rough landing.

As to the supermarket stuff, I gues it's a personal call. I open it up, fix something, and toss it inside of 5 minutes.

Most of the mass market (Krazy Glue et al) is gell. None of it is made in USA. Those seem to be the major differences. Plus this stuff I found has a self uncloging cap that seems to work well.

I generally get the 4-pack of "Super Glue" tube from "Super Glue Corporation" (tm's of Pacer Corp) from Home Depot for under $2. Can't say that I've done heavy-duty comparisons, but it seems to work OK (and it IS the thin stuff.) Made in Japan...
