: I had to use several 1/4" wide strips on my Outer Island. I also used
: some 1/8" trim strips. On one hand I liked how easily they bent. On
: the other, it was a pain to deal with all the glue squeeze out when it was
: necessary to lay more than one strip at a time. Given that, in retrospect
: I wonder if I could have done a better and cleaner job using super glues.
: Do super glues have a place in our kayak building endeavors?

I use CA glue when I need to bond two pieces that need clamping but are for some reason difficult to clamp. Like John said with the spray accelerator it is almost instantaneous, yet gives you a chance to get things aligned..

I also sometimes use a bead of CA glue around the ferrule of cheap resin "chip" brushes to help bind in loose bristles which would otherwise make a mess.
