<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>List</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is there any difference in the quality of various brands of CA
glue? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have been using Lock-Tite Super Glue, and whereas it seems to work fine
for various repairs, I have had a couple of pinblock treatments that didn't
take. I used A LOT of it, too. It seems as thin a viscosity as the
glue available from Schaff or the local hobby shop, so I don't think that is
the problem. I've been buying it because it's available at the hardware
store down the street, and I like that it comes in such small bottles.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But I've noticed that my eyes don't water when I use it. Today I
bought a different brand of CA from the hobby shop, and man! I had
to leave the area for awhile, it was so gaseously toxic!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I had initially thought that the last two pinblocks were just too far
gone and that the glue couldn't make an impact. Now, I'm starting to
think that the Lock-Tite glue might be weaker.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any thoughts? <BR><BR>Thanks,</DIV>
