Mike CT posted:The material has a very good capillary action. It depends on porous material to enhance it's strength. The more it (CA, (CyanoAcrylate)) (sucks-into) a material the better it bonds.
Yes & no - some limited porosity helps --- using the routine CA's to adhere anything long-term to end grain of wood is a waste of time. There are specialty formulations that will work.
Paints tend to inhibit CA's ability.
Gluing stuff to paint tends to lead to a low probability of success
There are at least three different thicknesses/viscosities of CA.
Actually, there's a huge variety, but only a few handfuls are readily available from hobby shops and hardware stores.
There are precautions, Avoid skin and eye contact, are the most noted. Some cases a trip to the emergency room is in order to un-glue eye lids or the like. Be careful with this stuff.
Indeed!!! People commonly get some on their fingers and then rub their eyes, etc.
Also, do not discount the inhalation hazard.
