CA glue questions

[Don]

Hi Rex,

Yes odorless CA exists. I don't use it so I can't offer a source of supply.

All houses are recommended to have at least .35 air changes per hour--so a
build up of fumes is not likely.

"The American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning
Engineering (ASHRAE exiting epa  recommends (in its Standard 62-1999,
"Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality") that homes receive .35 air
changes per hour, but not less than 15 cubic feet per minute (cfm) per
person. A common rule of thumb is the 15 cfm multiplied by number of
bedrooms in the house plus one. For example, a 3 bedroom house would
require at least 60 cfm of outdoor air. [(3 bedrooms + 1) x 15 cfm = 60
cfm]. Kitchens should have an intermittent exhaust capacity of 100 cfm;
bathrooms an intermittent capacity of 50 cfm. (ASHRAE also notes that
"dwellings with tight enclosures may require supplemental ventilation
supply for fuel-burning appliances, including fireplaces and mechanically
exhausted appliances. See information on combustion appliances.)"

For bridge cracks it may be best to treat the wood with the water thin
variety first to seal it--then follow up with medium or even thick. Be
prepared to make more than one application.
