Cheap source for thin CA or substitute

[Lee DeRaud]

As I mentioned in my thread about the engraved-rim bowl (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=39375), I used thin CA glue (a lot of thin CA glue) to fill the laser-cut grooves before turning. What I'm looking for now is an economical source of CA in relatively large quantities (e.g. pints) or a suitable substitute for this application.

I'm going to try the Envirotex product that Raymond uses for cactus-skeleton pens, but it looks like the viscosity of that stuff may be too high. I need something really "watery": those grooves are only about 0.01 wide at the top and taper to maybe half that at the bottom, anywhere from 1/8" to 1/4" down.

Suggestions?

Lee,
I got tired of paying big bucks for all those little bottles of CA I was going through on my spalted maple bowls and ordered in bulk from EZ Bond. Their minimum order is $125 which got me eight 16oz bottles. Comes in thin med and thick. It's way more than I will use in a year but I'll sell some of the surplus at my local turning club.

There are a couple of guys who do bulk buys of CA at IAP. Check out the classified forum.

Maybe they will have what you are looking for??

I know one of the guys is a "dealer" for EZ Bond.
