Subject: Cyanoacrylates
I work in string instrument repair, conservation and construction in private practice. I am interested in any information about cyanoacrylate glue testing done by conservation scientists or others who have done tests on CA glues. I am primarily concerned with finding information about the life span of CA glues used to repair wooden objects. My main concern is to find information about how long it takes cyanoacrylate glues to breakdown and release a wood to wood bond. Any testing or information that deals with archival issues in general would be helpful.
