Joe and Dean, thanks for those responses. Joe, we do have the Titebond range in the UK, yes, though you might not find it in every hardware store. I had Titebond Moulding & Trim Wood Glue with me (not Titebond III) and a tube of UHU PVA wood glue, and I did think about using one of those. (I bought the Titebond, funnily enough, on a visit to California. PVA in CA, haha!). But lately I've had some success with CA on small action parts without the need for clamping (or only very brief clamping), plus, I did like the idea that if the wood was "drinking" the CA, there would be some added strength. I did take care that there was no wicking of the CA into places it shouldn't go. Dean, I do like the bulb syringe idea a lot, and I must get some. Happily the bottle I was using has quite a fine nozzle. But the bulb syringe would be better. Best wishes, David. www.davidboyce.co.uk > > I would use CA for the reasons you outline.
