---------------------- multipart/mixed attachment As others have already posted CA is commonly known as "Super Glue" and I = know for sure it's available in Sydney because I bought some there last = year. I want to caution CA users to only use CA in a well ventilated area, = especially the kind with the "accelerator" marketed in the US by such = companies as Loctite. When the accelerator is applied to CA a small = amount of cyanide gas is released. If you're holding the parts near = your face and inhaling the gas while using large amounts of CA you can = develop liver problems associated with cyanide exposure. CA is very = popular with model airplane builders because it one can accurately place = parts and then instantly weld them together with the accelerator. Model = builders doing this in the basement for hours have been known to have = liver problems. Be careful out there. We piano players need you folks to keep our = instruments working and liver damage isn't fun. FYI, the "accelerator" is actually a catalyst that causes the CA to = polymerize very quickly. Just a word of caution from a former Pre-Med major with too much = chemistry and not enough music education.

List, I have for some time now followed numerous discussions into the endless applications of CA glue. I must confess that I cannot sustain my = ignorance on this subject any longer and must ask; what is CA glue? I have rang various adhesive specialists and the best information I can come up from an 'expert' in the field is: CA is a range of air drying 'super glues' of the Cyano Accurlates (my = guess at the spelling) family which are marketed in the US. These products = are not readily available in Australia. =20 Can somebody confirm if this is correct (obviously not the Australian availability bit). Appreciate any help on this issue.
