I would endorse with only one qualification. If the joint is tight already, then use a thin formula first. The mechanism of CA is to penetrate and then form rigid chains; hence the bond. If the surfaces are gappy, then the adhesive simply bonds on the surfaces. The counter is that no amount of glue is as strong as a solid, tight joint with a good penetrating adhesive. The thinned Aliphatic branded as Super Phatic is IMHO the best of both worlds. It will wick straight from the bottle and penetrates extremely well. Once cured, there is a higher level of flexibility in the joint that you would achieve with a CA.
