Even the manufacturers of the stuff agree on = this. As for CA messing up a glue joint with some other glue is still unproven. = The combination of White glue and CA has been used by many. The moisture in = the White glue "sets" the CA. As for TiteBond, I suspect the same applies. = However, if the TiteBond, (or hide glue, for that matter),  is already set, = then I don't think the CA is going to have any affect on it.
