I have used several different brands of CA over the years, including BSI, but haven't found any better than the CA from Mercury Adhesives in Atlanta, GA. I like it so much than I've started selling it at a price point that's better than other premium CA's and even a lot of the cheaper brands.
I realize that you might have not heard of Mercury Adhesives, but it's been a major manufacturer for a number of years, primarily producing OEM products for other companies and targeting the RC Plane market for their own brands.
Mercury has a full line of CA products for gluing tubes to creating fabulous finishes. Thin, Medium, Low Odor/Low Fume, and even a unique High Performance CA that is engineered for increased adhesion, such as gluing tubes into oily wood like Cocobolo (it produces a great high-gloss finish, too). Their activator is based on Heptane and is a fairly mild accelerator. This glue will not produce the shattered glass problems that plague others.
While the normal shelf life for their Thin & Medium CA is two years, Mercury offers an unconditional lifetime guarantee on all of their CA products.
I'm selling it under the supplies section of my pen web site at Penmaker's Supplies · Robert Kulp Creations and I'll take orders on IAP, too.
Thin 2oz for $6.50 and 8oz for $22.00
Medium 2oz for $6.50 and 8oz for $22.00
High Performance 1oz for $8.25
Low Odor/Low Fume 1oz for $11.00
Accelerator (Heptane) 2oz Pump for $3.75 and 8oz Pump for $10.50
There is an additional $6.80 for USPS Flat Rate postage. If I can ship it for less, I'll only charge for my actual costs.
I've had to reorder twice from Facebook sales, where it has been received with rave reviews. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.
Mercury's web site is at Mercury Adhesives | Made in the USA!
** Note: Due to the Post Office increasing postage rates on 01/17/2016, I've changed postage costs to USPS Small Flat Rate. If I can ship if for less, then you'll pay for just my actual shipping costs. **
