Been using it for 20 years, originally for RC plane building. No need to use pins and balsa cement or pva glue. You can make a balsa plane in an evening with superglue 😀

There is a lot of wisdom packed in that comment. Thanks for sharing.

I sometimes use the outside of the bottle to hold things I’m gluing, or one of those applicator nozzles that they come with. Superglue tends not to stick to the plastic the bottle/applicator is made of (someone once said to me – “superglue doesn’t stick to the inside of the bottle :-)”. I have a bottle of thin and bottle of thick superglue to hand. Kicker/accelerator is a must but doesn’t need to be used all the time. Thick superglue usually doesn’t “craze” when applying accelerator, is usually odorless and foam safe. But for my best tip: if you are repairing something that you can wrap sewing cotton around, wind it round and then soak in superglue. If you have accelerator, use it. If not, the superglue will go off quickly. The repair becomes rock solid. Superglue was invented to glue human skin, around wounds. I’ve seen it used by a hobbyist in the field BUT don’t apply accelerator – it burns like hell.

You’re welcome! I hope that they work for you. There are different sizes so you might have to try some out to find the ones that work for you.
