CA glue---all the same?

[Dean May]

Try http://www.kwickkleen.com <http://www.kwickkleen.com/> . Their glue is
always fresh. I've also had good luck with glue from my local hobby shop
that has his own store label on it.

List

 

Is there any difference in the quality of various brands of CA glue?   

 

I have been using Lock-Tite Super Glue, and whereas it seems to work fine
for various repairs, I have had a couple of pinblock treatments that didn't
take.  I used A LOT of it, too.  It seems as thin a viscosity as the glue
available from Schaff or the local hobby shop, so I don't think that is the
problem.  I've been buying it because it's available at the hardware store
down the street, and I like that it comes in such small bottles.  

 

But I've noticed that my eyes don't water when I use it.  Today I bought a
different brand of CA from the hobby shop, and man! I had to leave the area
for awhile, it was so gaseously toxic!

 

I had initially thought that the last two pinblocks were just too far gone
and that the glue couldn't make an impact.  Now, I'm starting to think that
the Lock-Tite glue might be weaker.

 

Any thoughts?  

Thanks,
