What you need:
- Super Glue (I prefer Loctite brand, the super liquidy stuff)
- Room tempature Tap Water
- (optional) Dropper Bottle
- Very firm bristled toothbrush or jewelry brush.
How it works:
1- Fill the dropper bottle with warm room temperature water.
2- glue the pieces you want glued together, together.
3- Put a dropplet of water from the dropper bottle onto the glue.
4- Squeeze pieces firmly together for 30(ish) seconds
5- dab off moisture with a drying cloth of your choice.
6- Remove any flashing (white stuff around where you glued) by scrubbing with brush.
(Alternitive: For large pieces, fill a bowl with room temperature water, and dunk the pieces in quickly and pull them out, then follow 4 onward.)
Pros and Cons:
Pros
- Very, VERY quick set time
- Doesn't cause cancer in the state of California
- Free, (vs. $12-20 US for ZapKicker)
Cons
- Like using Zapkicker, glue is slightly more brittle than letting set naturally
- Have to remove glue flashing
