I have been using my 3" Face Plate with a round turned 1.5 inch piece
of maple for a mounting block. on the first one, I had a fine mist of
CA flying, second I clamped and let dry overnight but I stall had a
wood frisbee about 2/3 of the way through the bowl.

Both of the CA glues I used are the ones I use for my Pens. Is this
the wrong glue? I think I am getting good coverage but something is
bad. Any body using yellow glue?


I don't usually use a glue block, but when I have, I've always used
either wood glue or hot glue. Using wood glue and clamping overnight
worked the best for me.

Far as CA goes, doesn't it soak in too fast to get a really good bond?
I would think it's just too thin, unless you've got some specialty
stuff.
