CA Glue, Superglue and Krazy Glue
By Don Teach

In the model airplane hobby I am told that Superglue is used to
glue the wooden parts together.  It seems that after some time the
glue breaks down and no longer holds.  Does anyone else have an
opinion about this subject?

 [ Ref. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanoacrylate :-
 [
 [ "Cyanoacrylate is the generic name for substances such as
 [ methyl-2-cyanoacrylate, which is typically sold under trademarks
 [ like Superglue and Krazy Glue ... The acronym "CA" is quite
 [ commonly used for industrial grades. ... Cyanoacrylates are often
 [ used to assemble ... flying model aircraft, ...
 [
 [ "Low temperatures cause cyanoacrylate to become brittle.
 [ Cyanoacrylate's bonds can be weakened (allowing disassembly) by
 [ placing a glued object in a household freezer for several hours."
