A Youtuber claims to use PVA and superglue together. Lay down the PVA
and then add superglue, Brting the joint together and the instanmt
action of the superglue removes the need to use cramps . Really ?


Water/moisture sets up superglue very quickly. PVA contains water, so
it would set near instantly, but likely quicker than you could bring
two parts together. PVA the parts, bring them together, then wick the
superglue in the joint - might work.


The idea is you don't let them mix - just have a couple of small spots
of CA glue to hold it together while the PVA cures.


I use a mitre bond activator with superglue, it really does stick in a
second or so.

AIUI anything alkaline will make superglue set fast while acids stop it
setting.
