So do you clamp/hold it and then drizzle the CA on the joint or apply the CA to the surfaces and then put the parts together?

I add glue to both surfaces before I put them together. If I'm using antler I size the pithy part of the antler first with thin super glue, re-sand it smooth then add the glue to both surfaces, put them together and wrap with rubber a band.

Done the most important things with glue ups is perfectly mated surfaces and even pressure, get the areas prepped right and the CA glue won't be a problem

Don, I use loctite pro.  It is thin.  I have used other gel and medium Ca glues, but I like the thin best. I have used other brand CA glues because the price of loctite is outrageous, but soon I went back to the Loctite brand.  I dont use an accelerator.  The type I use certainly doesn't need it.  It is set in ~5 seconds, and I have started shaping the tips less than 20 minutes later.  It is incredible stuff. 


Bingo!
