This is a good idea Wayne, but... you may want to break it down into how the CA is used.

For example, I prefer GluBoost for a finish, BUT always use StarBond as a glue and for filling larger voids.

David,

This is a good idea. But as a Poll I can't embed the options in a chosen Glue. Ideas?

David,

This is a good idea. But as a Poll I can't embed the options in a chosen Glue. Ideas?

Maybe two separate polls?

I always buy Bob Smith Ind. ca glue. In fact, just ordered a set yesterday. I was contemplating trying gluboost but with shipping, would have cost $100. Cost me $45 for my set of BS ca. Just can't justify the difference in price.

Hot Stuff and Satelite City is the same CA. I voted for both. Only Ca I use for all things.

I mostly use GluBoost at present, but I still use Stick Fast as I had a considerable supply. To clarify though, I use Stick Fast Wood Finish not Stick Fast CA glue. The Wood Finish has a longer open time and is more flexible (to prevent cracking) compared to their standard CA glue. - Dave

Went with Magic Chems because I could get it very inexpensively in good quantities on Amazon. I had never heard of it. I have no particularly loyalty to the brand. When I bought it I was working under the assumption that all CA glues were essentially the same. That may be entirely untrue. But what I've found after using it for my last ~100 pens is that I have zero difficulty getting a CA finish that I'm totally happy with using that. Only other CA I've ever tried was Hot Stuff. I couldn't tell any difference, except that the Hot Stuff was a lot more expensive.
