Hi Frank, I read, I heard, or I was told I can't remember which, that due to the properties of CA glue that if you use this product on a poorous surface the glue will eventually fail. This is due, so I was told that the glue continues to evaporate through the poorous part of the joint and eventually fails. This can be as long as two years . Personally I use CA for ivories I find its translucent high viscoarse properties excellent for replacing ivories especially on site. However, I must admit recently, I have had one or two fail on me. This I put down to a change of brand rather than the above. Which personally, I think is bull sh 1 t, but one never knows. Regards, Barrie.
