good price for CA

[William R. Monroe]

Maggie,

Use caution when buying CA (or any other glue for that matter) and make sure
their stock gets used quickly-check the date of manufacture.  CA has a short
shelf life (about 1yr), and if it's old, it's no good.  Personally, I choose
not to buy CA in anything other than 2oz bottles, even for pinblocks.
Rarely have I ever needed more than 2oz to do a whole block.  And, once you
open that 8oz bottle, it is going to pick up some moisture, and it WILL go
bad more quickly than an unopened bottle.

Best,
William R. Monroe
