CA Age
Does CA get weak with age? I've got a pint of medium Starbond CA that I've kept in the fridge for years; still sets up and reacts to accelerator. But when I use it to re-glue in a cutter on one of my Ellsworth-style boring bars (1/2") I get two cuts and then the glue fails and the cutter just drops out of the bar. I use the 1/2" bars for smaller jars to keep the opening smaller. I'm not high on trying to drill and tap a 1/2" bar to use a set screw.
Went looking for a replacement 1/2" boring bar, but have no willingness to spend $100+ for a straight bar and cutter.
