I use a few items that I really like and trust. This is one of them. Starbond CA is really the best stuff out there and comes in different viscosity .
The people are friendly to deal with. All top notch. Anyone else using this stuff feel free to chime in.

I haven't yet tried this brand but I would like to. Back when I built RC controlled airplanes I used a lot of CA glue and found I liked Carl Goldberg (CG) the best. I was surprised at the difference in CA between mfgs. CG is not cheap so If the Starbond works as well then I would like to try it.

One tip I'll give about CA glue. Keep it in the refrigerator! It will last a lot, lot longer. If you buy a larger bottle, it would be nice to keep an older, smaller bottle that goes in/out of the fridge for daily use and leave the large bottle in the fridge till time to refill the smaller bottle.

I've used Starbond for over 2 years now and have had no problems. I would like to find the best type bottles to use though. Mine keep getting gunked up.

I use various types of CA.. mostly Dave Smith, becaues it's available locally.

I don't worry about the bottles, because I don't use them as applicators. I use small pipettes to apply the glue. Accurate, inexpensive and disposable.

They are only inexpensive if you don't buy them from specialty shops (model building, etc...).

I get mine from this nice lady..

EXCELLENT (as my current supply is running low), thanks.
