Post by Ratrodsrule1 »

If MacGyver had only 1, just 1 and only 1 choice of CA Glue which one would he use ?

For derby purposes, I tend to get gel CA glues, because they work better for emergency repairs (when the parts may no longer mate perfectly). They also work well for attaching decorations during workshops (although I use epoxy and wood glue for that too).

I also tend to get the packages that have several small tubes, rather than one large tube. By the time I use CA glue again, the opened tube will have hardened no matter how well I try to reseal it. So I'd rather waste a small tube than a large tube.

I've seen videos that show techniques for saturating wood with thin CA glues, but I've never tried that.

Loctite Super Glue, Gel Control, No drip, Easy Application. I like the side grips for dispensing. I always have a new container for back up. My main use with Derby work is to glue in the axles. I know what you're going to say but I do it anyway. It gives me a lot of comfort.

Thanks Whod, that’s too many choices for such a simpleton as myself. I have a hard enough trouble picking between chocolate or vinalla ice cream. Lol

I invite everyone to read #2. I have always wondered why after a year I would use it and the glue would come out. Now I know. I have stored it laying on its side with no problem but I will now store it sitting straight up. I buy bottle 45198, which is .14 oz, and is the one Walmart sells. So far, no loose axles.

CAUTION!!! Be careful what you might read about anything on Derbytalk tomorrow. YES, you put the weight in the back.
