I have seen a lot about Glu-Boost which is formulated specifically as a pen coating. Chemically, what is GB? Researched CA many years ago and had some questions for a chemical engineer. Inquiring mind wants to know.

I'm not sure where you got that idea, Gluboost was initially marketed to luthiers for instrument repair, not pen makers.
The company website is gluboost.com, I just nosed around looking for the material safety sheet (which would typically list the ingredients) but couldn't find one.
If you click the "contact" button and ask them for the safety sheet they'll likely share it.

This was a statement earlier but aware that it was for other crafts. At first, I found all kinds of info which showed nothing about the chemical formula but had to revert to other sources. Finally tracked down the info, there were five chemicals that fell under the CA designation. There was lots of information on CA adhesives. I get a chuckle from a large archery catalogue, each supplier saying their CA glue is the best...when there are only a five CA glue formulas that I could see; three were specialized. One even said their CA was different. Doubt if they have a factory that makes their own CA.
