How much time do you have to work the BS & SG mixture before it
cures too much to work?

About .032 seconds with most CA. I mostly used Hot Stuff, which is
fast anyway. There are thicker, slower CA glues but if I was doing
something that required working the joint I'd go with epoxy.

Baking soda is an accelerator so it's counter-productive if you want
something to be workable. You can sand it after the fact but you're
not going to be doing any sculpting.

So for building fillets, you would "sculpt" the BS as much as possible
and then just drizzle on the CA?

With super glue, that is the only way you could. You don't have to use
baking soda, BTW, any fine powder will do...talc, pumice, wood sanding
dust...whatever.

....as shown in the video I posted.


If you want to form the mass prior to its hardening, you would do better
using thickened epoxy (same sort of materials to thicken, personally, I like
talc). The epoxy starts to set much more slowly, needs 24 hours minimum to
fully cure.

....as I have already addressed earlier in this thread.
