In my experience, superglue sets instantly, usually before you've got
the workpieces together straight, why on earth would you need to
accelerate it?

In aeromodelling, superglue is used on all sorts of materials and
there are many different types available: thick, thin, medium, low
vapour, for foam. There are also accellerators and these can be very
useful when the material has little or no moisture in it or when you
are holding the parts together wating for the glue to grab.

Between the ages of 10 and 15, I used to be a keen aeromodeller.
Unfortunately, in those days superglue was still many years from being
invented. It would have been a godsend for doing instant between-flight
repairs.

For many years, I have suffered from the tips of my fingers
spontaneously developing cracks and fissures - and these are
surprisingly agonising despite appearing to be absolutely insignificant.
I use superglue to immobilise the tissue and to create an artificial
scab (steam from the spout of a boiling kettle helps it to go off
rapidly!). After the glue has hardened, the pain relief is immediate.
