Doug,

I almost never reuse super glue - the dollar store here has 3 tubes for a buck, so 5 bucks gets me a years worth. Ironically, it's one of the few things in the store not sourced from China.

Also, has anyone used baking soda as a super glue accelerant for large glue-ups? It works great for the larger jobs where more than a drop or two is needed. Apply the glue, press things together, sprinkle on the baking soda, and - it's set! We used to glue up BPC cabinets this way with super glue first, then follow with up with epoxy. Worked great.

Nice set - and if you ever need any Belfuses........or do you use those "sans-a fuse" breaker type Belfuses??

Cheers,
