Sorry for asking such a dumb question but I dont wanna get caught in the old "language trip me up barrier" again
When you talk about CA glue are you talking about Cyanoacrylate (just a generic name for cyanoacrylate based fast-acting glues such as loctite super glue)
Basically the stuff that sticks anything to anything and really only sets when pressure is applied to remove the air
OR are you on about an american product that is different

Cheers guys

CA for me is Cyanoacrylate Adheasive I use it as a finish. I purchase the product that I use through Woodcraft [www.woodcraft.com] they make several different types, I prefer the medium thickness for what I do. I'm sure that there is an equivilent in your area, I think that any variety would work.

CA does not require pressure to cure and will not bond most plastic surfaces. Regular CA will attack styrofoam plastic (EVA??). There is a low odor CA which is used by modelers and can bond styrofoam. The higher viscosity thicker CA versions take longer to cure without accelerator. BTW the regular thin CA can cause respiratory problems. Low odor CA is much friendlier to use but is quite a bit more costly. Generally I wear nitrile gloves since like epoxy it seems to get everywhere.

Agree with Mr. Kepka.
CA not bonding hard plastics. That is for sure true. I found that out by using it multiple times and having failures. I had a mindset that super glue would bond anything. Nope. For sure not hard plastics. For solid hard plastic I have better success with plain old pvc pipe glue.

I'm pretty sure superglue cures when in contact with water. It is acually the humidity in the air that is curing the glue, if you run it under water it will cure instantly. What cures with an absence of air is the loctite thread locker.
