One non-obvious thing I find it useful for is tacking parts in place for me to then go over with a more structural adhesive, e.g. a slow-curing epoxy.

It's some really good shit but a lot of people misuse it.

CA works best when the surfaces are nonporous and closely mated. It's awful at even the slightest gap filling so don't use it for that. It can also be brittle so be careful what you use it on.

Today I spotted the wifi SSID "Connecto Patronum".

That made me laugh.

@Azure I've got bad news for you about some leftists' opinions of the dprk.
