stuff to really soak in to fix some problematic blanks. What is a good site to buy it online assuming I can't find it locally? ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |

These type of stores often carry low priced "CA" usually very thin too IIRC I picked up 100ml for a pound ($2 for those in the US). One warning, if you plan to soak your wood in it, do so in a very well ventilated area. I used a small quantity 20ml in my workshop and had to leave it vacated for over an hour. The fumes are not good for you, also the vapour can attack the eyes and make them sting -- John |

C/A is not your only solution. A product called "Clear Penetrating Epoxy
Sealer," made by Smith and Company, Richmond, CA, and sold in a number of woodcraft type stores may do what you want. I have used it for repair work, and have seen it used for turning punky and decayed wood. It locks the pithy fibers together so they keep their shape when they are turned. I used it to re-anchor lag bolts that hold my porch rail to the house. The "carpenter" who installed then didn't use any sealer, and rain water eventually caused so much decay that the lag bolts started to pull loose. It's solid as a rock now. |

I can't imagine how I would ever use a quart and how likely it would still be good by the time I did. |

I walked into an office supply store and found a hundred bottles.
I got my choice of thick gel. If you don't have a hobby store - try office supply or dime store or grocery in the oil/light bulb/car part/glue section. Martin Martin H.

CA is sold by dozens of companies. Super Glue.
It is a chemical. I've seen it for sale for ~30 years now. Martin H.

step 1 type "cyanoacrylate" into a search engine - many choices of sites
will come back - most sell it step 2 - choose a supplier - for example, http://www.globaladhesives.net/cyanoacrylates.htm has 16 oz for $50 or consult ebay, it says "72 items found for cyanoacrylate in eBay Stores" you get the idea. Starbond usually has attracve prices, but I get it cheaper at a local swap meet "errfrsdaf" wrote in message ... I need some water thin CA and also thick CA.

All Vodka starts out the same, just depends on how many times it's filtered and how clean the filters are.. DAMHIKT The one that I think is grossly over priced is "hot stuff" or whatever.. Most places like Klingspors and the like have a "house brand", (one distributor, lots of labels?), that's less then the name brands.. mac Please remove splinters before emailing |

My quantities were in error It was actually 50ml for $2 Putting into perspective, I have seen elsewhere in this thread mention of $50 for 16 oz of CA 16oz = 473ml so approximately 10 packages at $2 = $20 that's a $30 dollar saving ! Must be a first, everything else wood turning related is almost double in the UK to that in the US -- John |

I have had great success with EZ Bond for several years. I keep unused
large quantities in the freezer and decant to 2 oz bottles as needed. They provide viscosities from 5 cps to 1500 cps. I have some in the freezer that is more than 2 years old - still good. I get mine from Once on their mailing list, they send out emails soliciting orders about once a month. They combine the orders to obtain fresh CA from the manufacturer, then ship. The process takes a couple weeks, but the price is worth it! Their price for 16 oz is about $25.50 plus shipping - about half of the manufacturer's internet price. Good luck - Hought |
