				<title>Alternative to Zap-A-Gap?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I've just received news that no miniature modeler ever wants to hear - I've become hyper-sensitized (and thus, by all rights allergic) to cyanoacrylate... the special ingredient that makes things like Zap-A-Gap and many other super glues so good at what they do. My question: does anyone have any gluing alternatives that specifically don't have cyanoacrylate listed in the ingredients? How good are they?]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Yeah, I'll use plastic glue on my plastic minis if I have to, but I like to use magnets on units that can swap out weapons and also I use a lot of resin and metal models (for games like Mordheim... and also just because they look cool!), and I've never really used green stuff as a bond, only to add details to the models themselves... does it create a strong bond at all, or would I be fixing things all the time?]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ I use testors plastic glue for all plastic models and any superglue I can find for everything else, for larger resin models it's a good idea to use a two part epoxy for bigger pieces as well as pinning them together]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ If you set aside a well-ventilated area with a fan blowing away any fumes, you can probably get away with light superglue usage. Also using the needle applier superglue bottles instead of just globbing it everywhere keeps the fumes down as well.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Gorilla has <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(18);'>CA</span>...it also has a rubberizer to make it less brittle though.<br /> <br /> 2 part epoxy will become your friend for resin and metal.  I use 5 minute epoxies almost exclusivle on metal, the bond is more durable than you get with super glues.  Once you get a handle on it, it really isnt any more difficult than using <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(18);'>CA</span>.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Thanks for the thoughts so far, folks. @Sean_OBrien @BrotherVord, what 5-minute epoxies have you used? I know Gorilla Glue makes one, but I'm not sure if there are better blends out there.<br /> <br /> @Badablack, having been someone who hasn't simply "globbed it everywhere" and uses the needle applier exclusively, I can say with experience to anyone entering the hobby to work in a well-ventilated area with fans blowing as a <b>precaution</b>, not after becoming hyper-sensitized. I cannot get away with any light usage (light as in gluing together 3 metal models in an evening), lest I want to feel flu-like symptoms for 2-3 days after gluing models together. It sucks, but having lived in apartments for the better part of a decade has made it difficult to find those choice areas with good ventilation... and I'm now paying the price for it.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ I am not too picky with Epoxies, just make sure you buy from a store with a good turnover rate.  Fresher batches are less tempermental, so an old package can be more difficult to work with.  I think I currently have 3M brand in my adhesives drawer, though I am not married to one particulair brand and almost all that I have used provide satisfactory results.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Not really an alternative, but have you tried working gloves(Mechanix) or Latex gloves, and then a face mask and some goggles?
