"Interesting, I never found a nickels worth of difference in the CA glues I tried and you seem to have noticed enough of a difference that nothing else compares. What was it about the other brands that caused them to fall short in your mind?"
So the CA I have tried CA from Wal-Mart, home depot, Lowes, Michaels, the dollar store, the only local woodworking store we had (which is now closed), the only modeling shop we have and then from Monty, the main difference I have found is the work ability, some of the CA I have got has been "gummy", some takes a long time to set, some sets really fast, some do not give any shine at all. What I have found in my personal experience is that the CA from Monty is the most consistent compared to the stuff I can get locally. And again this is only my experience.
