I have yet been able to use super glue without it getting clogged. Is there a trick to keeping it unclogged so you can use the whole bottle?
which superglue are you using?I have yet been able to use super glue without it getting clogged. Is there a trick to keeping it unclogged so you can use the whole bottle?
Crazy glue with pin top and Locktite with screw top. Both clogwhich superglue are you using?
I am using the different tidebond types, which have a screw cap
Thanks. I was hoping there was a magical solution.I am using a CA adhesive, Bison, or equivalent, which comes in tubes. After a while the tubes get clogged. What helped me a lot was to keep the tube in an upright position and even then I frequently have to free up the nozzle.
I'll use Loctite superglue. Loctite 454 gel for wood or Loctite 401 for metal and painted surfaces. I put the glue in the freezer so it is always usableI have yet been able to use super glue without it getting clogged. Is there a trick to keeping it unclogged so you can use the whole bottle?
Thank you Lucius. Have always used Titebond back row. Didn’t know that they made CA. Will buy some. Does their CA work with metal on wood?I really can fully recommend the glues from tidebond - best quality and never a problem with clogged nozzle
The four smaller bottles in the front - and btw extremely strong joints when you fix wood to wood

I built this entire ship with super glues.I have generally avoided "Super glue" just because of my limited experience with it and from complaints from friends that use it.
I will now boldly (and carefully) move forward with this collection of information in hand.
Thanks to all
Happy Modelling.

The tidebond CA are also very good with metal on wood - and extremely good wood to woodThank you Lucius. Have always used Titebond back row. Didn’t know that they made CA. Will buy some. Does their CA work with metal on wood?
CA adhesive can be obtained in various grades, from lower to higher viscosity (at least in the Netherlands). I like to use an intermediate viscosity CA adhesive, mostly driven by the fact that the lower viscosity ones behave more or less like water and are therefore more difficult to control, when applying.I have generally avoided "Super glue" just because of my limited experience with it and from complaints from friends that use it.

Loctite 401 also works with metal on wood. Loctite 401 is also available in 3 gram tubes. And I also use amazon pipettes. This way, there is not too much oxygen in the tube and the adhesive does not become toughThank you Lucius. Have always used Titebond back row. Didn’t know that they made CA. Will buy some.

Rick,I use titebond II on my builds but have noticed during my build that the wale attachment at the stem and joining timber pop loose.
What glue would you suggest for this connection .
Thank you
Rick
you can save some money buying acceleartors\activators by adding a drop of regular water to gluing surface, that simple! Try it, it works!CA activator,
