The cheap hardware stuff is the best. The quick cure good stuff from the hobby store would be hot. That is another danger of sealing with CA. You get too impatient waiting for it to cure, spray on accelerator but there is some drippage on your finger, yikes that's hot! Or taking off the stuck on cap with your teeth and a bit squirts on your lip and tongue! It is just like the old Emergency TV program back in the 70's. Keep the kids, big and small, using Elmer's! |
