Cyno/Superglue is a great aid to model building,but please use with the greatest of care with safety uppermost in mind,the thin variety will migrate into any capilliary line and certainly reach the bits that you do not want it to ! if you need to fill a gap then first sprinkle baking powder/cornflour into the joint,then touch this with thin cyno,there will be a small puff of smoke and you will be left with a joint like steel,the biggest problem is sanding it later as it is so tough,best to allow for a sink in the joint so that you can surface fill with conventional filler such as Squadron putty.
The full effect of the fumes on our body are still not fully known,but for safetys sake use outside whenever practical,the same goes for using kicker/accelerators,they do not smell too good,so beware use with the greatest of care.
Never ever place anything into the mouth that has touched cyno,think of the name cyanide=poison !!
