a "guy's fridge" in the shop, and the freezer section is perfect for
6-7 bottles of glue, including the opened ones. I get them from
Tower Hobby, on line. I thought I was the only one who used CA to
"fix" woodworking projects.


I think you'll find that a lot of pen turners use it as a finish.


And knifemakers too. It is really good finish for kitchen knives.
If you are careful you can fix small cracks too and turn unusable
wood into pretty nice handles.

There are several chemical compositions, see

I would liko to get hold to the medical cyanoacrylate, very handy
treating blisters in feets.
