Odourless CA question

[skiprat]

Hi all,
I must have about 10 half full 50g bottles of CA around my man cave. Problem is.....they are all pretty old and getting too thick to use on something I'm working on at the moment. I need a really thin CA now.

But I have a bottle of so called Odourless CA that I've had for yonks. It's still very thin. Does anyone know if this stuff goes off without thickening up first? It still is the orangey/tan colour as when I bought it.
I just need it to glue something, not as a finish.

Thanks in advance:biggrin:

Should be OK. Test it on something and see before you actually use it on something important.

:redface::redface::redface: I really feel stoooopid now. I swear I never thought of trying it on something else first.

Bad news is it's dead ( still wet between 2 bits of paper after 5mins)
Good news is I don't have to try and clean it off the important parts.

Thanks Monty:biggrin:

You just made me feel a lot better with your last post! You make you own tools from stuff you find in dumpster, constantly engineer and build these brilliant masterpieces from scrap materials and yet, you nearly forget to "reliability test" known old glue before use.

Maybe there is hope for me, yet! After that first time I accidentally glued myself to the lathe, I have been very, very careful with CA glue.

If I were you Steve, and I know this isn't your need right this second, but I wouldn't use CA as a finish. I'd get some Plexyglass, thread the inside of the plexi, thread the outside of the pen body and screw on the finish..it's odorless and durable and doesn't expire. :biggrin:

If anyone could pull that off, I would bet it would be him!!
