CA and accellerator
 

Are there any toxic problems with using CA glue plus using
accelerator? I want to use them on baby rattles that will be made in
two pieces and then joined.

CA is used as surgical glue--once cured it should be no problem at all. The
accelerator I don't know about.

I don't think there are toxicity problems after the stuff has cured -
but you could pull up the material safety data sheet (msds) available on
a gov't site. (Can't recall the URL, but it shouldn't be difficult to
find.)

On a second note, I'd not use CA for such a project. My experience has
been that CA is brittle and can fail fairly easily. (Just a couple weeks
ago, a turning put together with CA, which hangs from my truck's
rearview mirror, just fell apart... "snick"... one piece was still
hanging while the rest was on the floormat.) I believe I'd use standard
yellow glue for a rattle. As a matter of fact, that *is* what I use for
rattles and I've not had a failure yet - even after bashing a couple
with a wood mallet to test them. The wood broke but not the joint.

It's that Oregon sunshine! It'll do it to CA every time!

I've had the same experience with CA glue as Owen. It starts out fairly brittle
and gets much worse with age. Definately not for a baby rattle.
Works great for glue blocks and temporary bonds for small cracks but outside of
that a poor quality glue for most applications. Use titebond.

SNIP .......
I use either Titebond II or Gorilla Glue for baby rattles. Both (as
well as the CA glue) are inert when dry. If you want the immediacy of
a CA glue, go to a flexible one, with rubber in it.
=====================================
Can you give a brand name/ source for rubberized CA?

Craft Supplies carries one variety of it, although I can't remember
the name of it at the moment. I think Berea Hardwoods carries one,
also, but I can't find their catalog at the moment, to verify.
