I note that there are several viscosities for C.A. superglue but which if any are the quickest to set, thinest or thickest?

As I understand the glues, the thinner the glue the quicker it is to set.

The thicker superglue does allow a little bit of adjusting and also fills very tiny gaps ,the thinner type needs the parts to be absolutely close fitted to be really successful .

One other thing, superglue needs the presence of moisture to set as it is a chemical reaction that causes the setting. One tip I read was to breath, (as in trying to mist up a mirror), on the glue. A thick 'blob' will take a lot longer to set, as the moisture can not really get to the centre of the 'blob'.

Thanks for your replies, the thinner the faster then and breathe on it.
