Title: Super thin CA glue?
Post by: razorsharptokill on October 16, 2019, 12:05:09 PM: Someone had posted a pic of the glue that they use. Alcohol like viscosity? Anyone know of the glue mentioned?

I buy mine at hobby lobby. Their label. They have thin, medium and thick. I use the medium for most things and like the thick for fletching.

The thin is very thin. So is the locktite thin. The locktite should be easier to find at the various retailers. Home Depot?

It is about a quarter of the price if loctite 420 and even thinner, and sets up instantaneously. I don't think it is as strong as 420.
