Super Phatic vs. CA Balsa Model Building Glue

I've been building model airplanes out of balsa for 60 years and when CA glue (superglue) became popular I started using them and loved many their benefits. Over time, I developed an allergy to SA fumes, burning sensations in my sinuses and eyes, and eventually bronchitis. I tried everything, carbon masks, fans, open windows and nothing worked. I almost gave up building when I discovered Super-Phatic by Delux Materials. The problem with traditional aliphatic glues (wood or white glue) is that they don't penetrate tight joints and take hours to apply. Super Phatic is thin enough to absorb moisture but stronger than CA, building in about 20 minutes at 74 degrees. I tried diluting regular aliphatic glue with water but it wasn't as strong as Super Phatic and it took longer to install. I've heard complaints from people saying it's quite expensive but still cheaper than CA, about $5 an ounce less than unscented CA, which I'm also allergic to. Overall I am very satisfied with this model building product and would recommend it to anyone. It also does not stick to fingers and washes off with water.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember
