Alumilite and CA glue

[Upinsmoke9]

I am reading and hearing that CA glue is not the best for gluing tubes in Alumilite blanks. What is recommended? Thanks!

I use med CA all the time on Alumilite. Never had a problem yet. If I am doing a larger order I will use epoxy.

I have used both CA and epoxy without issue.

I use thick CA glue exclusively on my Acrylic and Alumilite blanks. I've never have had an issue with adhesion whether used on a small or large order.

I've never had an issue gluing tubes with CA in Alumilite Blanks. I have had issues with using CA to glue objects to tubes then casting in clear Alumilite.

I use epoxy for tubes but have filled Pore holes or grain fissures in aluminite / wood composite blanks without any issues using thick CA

I use thick CA to glue all tubes and have had no problems in any material.

Great! Thank you for your replies. I have been using CA and I was hoping that it wasn't a problem.
