Breathe on it between layers, and it sets up like crazy!! Yes, yes! I have found that a combination of CA glue and wood flour (the stuff you find inside your sanding machine) can be used for filling cracks, epecially tricky bridge repairs that need a low viscousity adhesive. Pack the crack with as much wood flour as you can get in and carefully apply the CA to the crack, it flows in and sets up quickly, and any overflow can be scraped level to the bridge.
