Well its what I would go with... superglue sets when its deprived of

Nope. Cyanoacrylate superglue is set by the moisture in the air.

I was just going to search for cyano accelerator - are you telling me that
this could be a fine mist of water?


No, its a volatile solvent based stuff... It gasifies almost immediately.


Ethanol.


My tin (siroflex) says "contains Heptane, Hexane mixture of isomers
(max5% n-Hexane". Not sure what proportion of that is active ingredient
and what is just propellant though.

It appears that baking soda is also a decent accelerator.
