Hi
Just after a quick and easy recommendation for a brand/UK supplier of thin (low viscosity) CA (super glue) to use for minor repairs and wood strengthening.
I do a bit of turning and have used normal CA glue but have found it to be a bit thick (viscous), especially when trying to stabilise those fine hairline cracks. A quick google for thin CA yields (as always) a myriad of mind numbing options. So I was wondering if anyone could make a recommendation? I like the idea of those tiny applicators' to get into the fine cracks. And perhaps something that I can go out and buy off the shelf, but equally a reputable online version would be great.
Many Thanks

O3a looks to be the glue used by UK YouTube woodworkers. Read that Starbond is widely used (mostly US I think). Not used either in thin consistency but it may help narrow your choice down.
 
I use In no particular order Titebond, Chestnut, o3a, Usually use ine of the 3 to make an order up from a supplier.
For normal viscosity I use Everbuild as i get a great deal on it from my local fixings guy, Everbuild don't do a thin version only normal and thick
 
Thanks guys, all sorted. Making a trip to Axminster on Wednesday so have gone with the chestnut version they have.
