This is probably why I tend to use Gel CA - not so lively! Mind you, in some situations - like fixing handrail stanchions on Athearn locos - a drop of liquid CA is best - disappears inside the handrail-stanchion joint and fixes them firmly vertical. Getting dried CA off fingers is a real pain. Figuring out how to remove small fragile parts from your fingers, where they have happily stuck with CA, is even trickier. I think I may finally have managed to build (ok, fit handrails to) a loco without getting CA over anything else... And what's even more fun is when you discover, as I did last week, that you've fitted the handrails to the wrong ends on a loco - thought my Athearn AC4400 looked different to my Dash 9s, then realised that I'd got the front handrail on the back, and vice-versa. Luckily they came off without much damage - a bit of repainting needed but nothing else. CA is like nuclear fuel. It's very useful but you wouldn't want to get it on your hands!
