Harbor freight CA glue

[keithlong]

Anyone use the CA glue from harbor freight to glue tubes in blanks? I went in the shop today and my CA glue is no good due to me leaving it out too long. I forgot to put it in the fridge. I need to make a few pens before the weekend, and harbor freight is in my town. I will order some EZ bond next week when I get my old man money. Thanks

Most CA glue has the same basic formula. So yes, you can trust it to get you through a few pens.

I use thicker glue for tubes and blanks. I only see thin CA at HF.

I'd certainly give it a go in a pinch but Starbond ships pretty quickly.

HF only has a thin formula. I use thick for gluing tubes into blanks.

My CA sits in a hot garage year round and good for at least 1-2 years. Horror Fright glue just might be substandard as most of their stuff is. Just my opinion and experience. Buy quality CA. They are not created equal.

I agree, I buy Bobs CA all the time. It sits on a shelf in my shop. Never has gone bad. I actually unpacked some of my pen supplies and had one bottle of thin CA. Was in storage for over a year and still good. Lol

I have used HF CA glue for years and never had any problems. Just wish they made a thick formula for attaching fletching to arrow shafts.

I do and it works just like the others. It's a thin CA, and I've had no issues at all.
