Keeping a bottle of superglue debonder around is a cheap investment.
If you go to a hobby store which carries a selection of cyanoacrylate
glues (usually of different viscosities and bonding speeds) you ought
to find a supply of debonder in the same rack.


Has anybody ever found an application where superglue works well
except on human skin? I find the crap brittle as hell and have yet to
see anything glued with it last more than a few weeks before breaking.

I use it on optical things often, because it's easily removed, like Duco
cement except stronger and faster-setting. As long as you use just a
little, it doesn't cause too much nasty frosting nearby.

How do you use "just a little" with the viscosity almost of liquid helium
and coming in aluminium tubes of a gauge almost the same as tin cans it
seems impossible to squeeze out a small drop, only. I must adopt the storage
in small airtight bottle with (non cotton) sachet of activated silica gel
inside. Hopefully then it will be more amenable to squeezing out just enough
to wet a needle point to transfer to the intended.
