I can tell you that there are big differences between CA glues.
Normally I used all the time the "Hot Stuff" from Woodcraft. The medium thickness is quite slow setting. The other day I got my glue from Daniel's CA bulk buy, the "E-Z Bond" material and I can say the medium thickness stuff is much more reactive than the hot stuff:
I apply it normally with a paper towel section, four times folded and never ever glued it to my fingers. Using the EZ bond the first time the reaction was immense: it got very hot, and it even smoked and it glued so fast to my finger I could not get the paper towel off fast enough. Burnt my finger a little bit, too. No need for accelerator, so far. Now I use a cut-off finger from cheap rubber gloves to avoid the sticking to my skin, but it still gets very hot compared to the "Hot Stuff".
I had hard times getting the Hot Stuff to dry when using BLO/CA, now with the new stuff it dries instantly, no need for accelerant.
Tomorrow I will try it without the paper towel, either applying it with a plastic bag or with my "rubber" finger (heard somewhere that paper towel might accelerate the reaction of CA glue).
