I recommend one of 3M's Cyanoacrylates - - CA40 is a thin set ie its viscosity is similar to water if you have no experience with thin CA , be careful because yes it does flow like water, but any project where soaking into the joint is important is the ticket with a thin CA set - it's extremely strong, cures very quickly and works just as well or even better than any other CA I've used for many years. I like the standard bottle applicator of this size and don't often see the need to use a capillary tube for application, of course it depends on the project. While I don't suggest this idea to others, I always keep my CAs in the freezer - they seem to last for years that way. And, of course, if you like using "kicker", by all means - I personally have not encountered any problems, regardless of the brand of kicker and CA40.
