for example.

Google "superglue with activator"

I tried that, but I was finding normal superglue plus a spray to make it
set faster.Â* Superglue doesn't need setting faster, it needs setting
slower.Â* The 2 part stuff I currently have behaves like Araldite
(epoxy), it only sets once the two chemicals are mixed.Â* So you can
smear one tube onto one part, the other tube onto the 2nd part, then
press them together 30 seconds later once you're ready.Â* With normal
superglue you find by that time the stuff's already hardened.

This is what I have: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/302632886396
(select "AB glue" from the list)
This is the only one I can find on Ebay like this, which is from China
and takes a while to get here.Â* It's two tubes of glue, not a glue and a
spray.

I wonder if the two part stuff you got is not really Superglue but a
glue that is branded as "super"?
Superglue proper, cures in the absence of air. So you apply to both
surfaces, and can go off and have a cup of tea etc and then put the two
parts together thus excluding air and the stuff cures.

I think you are talking about contact adhesives...

superglue - cyanoacyrlate - rapidly plolymerises in the presence of water...
