We received some defective CA adhesive at work last year, which the mfgr. replaced. They never sent a pickup notice, so, I asked for it and they were happy to give it to me because they didn't want to 'dispose of it properly.'
I now have 10 liters of crystal clear industrial quality ethylCA. Just about perfect for use as a finish. It is not water thin, but can be thinned with mineral spirits. :) Dan
I know that most lacquers can be thinned with mineral spirits, but are you sure that CA glue can? robo hippy
We do it every day at work. As the glue begins to thicken we reduce it with a few drops. It doesn't seem to effect the adhesives properties at all.
fyi: Lacquers should be thinned with lacquer thinner, which is a blend of ketones, alcohol and mineral spirits, depending on what type of thinner it is. It is the ketones that you want. Dan
umm... I'm sure that you know what you're doing, Dan... but what defect caused it to be rejected??

Dear Dan,
My staff and myself have received several complaints about the Stick it to Em Corporation's CA glue. While we are sympathic and understand the agony of buying such a disappointing expensive product, we are not their agents and cannot field their complaints. Buy our glue, no others are any good.

I just checked. It was too thin for our application. It came in under viscosity according to specs, almost water thin. Also, a couple bottles had some crystalization on them. This particular CA is supposed to 'grab' in
2-4 seconds, but it was taking 20 seconds. So, I won't have to dilute this stuff after all! Dan
Arch, I never said what brand we used and it certainly isn't your competition Stick it to Em adhesive that you are so willing to pass judgement on. Nor did I complain to you about their adhesive or anyone else's. In fact, we don't buy CAs from repackagers like yourself, but prefer to buy direct from industrial CA adhesive mfgrs. Dan
Hey Archie. Got any houses for sale to either side or in front or back of yours down there in Flerda? I think I'd like a wry, sly, rabblerousing COC for a neighbor.
Would deffinately make life interesting!
Mr. Bollinger:
I think you were had by Arch's wry sense if humor. In fact.. I'm pretty sure.

Hi Robert, Dan got it. He just 'out _drolled' me. :)

Arch, Robert was right. You got me good! I was sure you had begun running one of those drop-ship-online-estore companies that had a website, but no inventory. Just call me 'Naive' in Indiana.' Dan
Robert, thanks for the 'straightening out', but I'm still not real sure that Dan isn't one-upping us. If I could repackage anything, it should be me. :)
Anyway Dan, Hoosiers who lack the advantages of the advanced way WebTv displays threads shouldn't be expected to keep up with improper 'cross-threading'. ;)

Arch, Coincidentally, there was a show on Discovery tonight about glues and adhesives. It was very good. But then, being an adhesive mfgr. you know all that stuff already. ;) Dan
Really, I wasn't spoofing. Honest! Dan ;)
