The CA glues themselves have very low toxicity.  And although some companies
(Sur-Lok, for one) market their products as "solvent free", most are 99%
methyl or ethyl cyanoacrylate (butyl and octyl cyanoacrylates are used for
surgical closures, an indication of their low toxicity!).  Of the two, I
would look for one that is ethyl cyanoacrylate, as a little safer than the
methyl.  Maybe fewer fumes.  But the fumes, though not terribly toxic, are
irritants.  So keep up with the ventilation.  As for safety, anything that
works this good, ya gotta be careful with!

Thanks, John!  Do you have any insight into the kinds of CA that claim to
produce fewer fumes than others?  Are there kinds that are safer to use?
