Thread Name: BS: Bloody Superglue!!
Subject: RE: BS: Bloody Superglue!!
The point about superglue and wood is that the wood dust can be mixed with the glue to fill certain voids..(or rather, the dust can be used to fill a void then saturated with the glue)the glue is clear and can often be nearly undetectable used this way...and it is FAST. My work is turning, and I can find a crack or void, fill it, set it, and be back to work in seconds......I know some turners who attach the stock to a waste block with superglue, then remove it with a sharp whack with a chisel when done. It is one of the most important tools I have, though I use regular "yellow glue" for other forms of wood joinery.

I have learned to deal with the clogging and getting it off of my fingers, and I 'almost' never have to throw away a bottle before I finish using it.
