The two would seemingly be incompatible but as I understand it, the white or yellow water-based glue serves as a catalyst to make the CA glue cure quickly. The two types of adhesives have their respective properties. I'm not sure if the final result ends up having some of the properties of both kinds or not. I can tell you that I have used the idea and have found it to be ideal in certain circumstances. One reason for not using the usual accelerator, 1-1-1 Trichlorethelyne, (not sure about that spelling) is that it is toxic and causes the CA glue to emit highly toxic fumes. Many alternative accelerators have been suggested but the white or yellow glue one is the one I find the most intriguing. Bill Bremmer RPT Madison, Wisconsin
