Super glue dilemma
Del the cat:
In the UK I buy my low viscosity superglue on line (Ebay). Most of the over the counter stuff is over priced and thick or medium viscosity.
Thick for overlays, thin for cracks etc.

I get the 10 pack at Harbor Freight for around $3.00, buy several packs at a time and no problems with it yet.
Pat B:
I use the thin for cracks and knots. I use gel and other glues for tip overlays.

Na--I just ordered a 2 ounce bottle online, no problem. I believe most of the superglue in the world is produced by one or two manufacturers, so the only difference from brand to brand is the bottle. I use Bob Smith industries glue- it keeps well.
Also, CA glue is sensitive to heat. so ideally you should store it in the freezer. Some I know store a big bottle in the freezer and transfer .5 oz at a time to a smaller bottle. but if you are keeping your CA in a hot garage, it is going to thicken up.
