Thanks Stephen for your answer. I just ordered some glue from www.woodturnerscatalog.com. on 5/26/06, just before your note. I had waited a few days to see if anyone would know anything, but when I didn’t get any comments, I went ahead and ordered from the place I have in the past. They tell me they are unable to get bigger bottles than 2 oz.

I will follow up with Wood Tech’s Craig and see about it for the next order. I will use up what I bought pretty quickly, so I should need some more in the next couple of months.

thanks for your help,

What’s CA glue?

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Hey Obi: sorry I didn’t explain further. CA glue is often brand named as Super Glue. There are many different brands, but all in the same family of “cyanoacrylates”, thus shortened to “CA.”

I keep four kinds on hand, Thin for cracking stoppage, Medium for sawdust/CA knot filling, Thick for gap filling, and Flexible for times when I think I want the glue to be somewhat rubbery when dried. With this assortment, I also keep on hand a “Debonder” and also a spray can of “Activator”.

Just found 8 oz bottles. Check it out. It should be at fastcap.com called 2P-10 adhesive system

Occasionally Rockler has a really good sale and I pick up a few bottles. Fortunately I dont go through it that fast. The price of that stuff kills me though. Same thing with Epoxy. But at least I can buy a Gallon of epoxy and save a few bucks. CA glue is a whole different ball game.

Is there another substitute for using the CA glue? Yea, the price is outrageous for such a small amount. You would think someone would come up with a substitute or a different offering to capture some of that market.
