That's why I use the CA glue as a chemical bonder and it works=20 instantly, meaning that once you put these two glues combined, they=20 will cement together and will probably never come apart again. It is also true what Isaac Oleg wrote "that it makes it harder to=20 remove this glue residue", but on the other hand, a sander belt will do=20= that work for you and it would be unconventional to do it otherwise. But then : ze French built cars like 2CV's and what an unconventional=20 miracle that was! haha! For major ivory gluing there are ivory glues on the market either from=20= Jahn, Renner, or other suppliers. In the far past, we used bone glue with chalk but I would try for more=20= modern stuff. Again, don't forget that I mentioned before that the method I use is=20 for fast repairs, but it works darn good. btw, I think CA stands for CYANO ACRYLATE, it is the glue that works=20 hard for you in seconds! just don't get it between your fingers and=20 toes... not to speak of other bodily parts OK?
