Default Are all Ca glues alike?

I've been making wood pens for years and use ca glue for numerous applications. Can I use the same ca for my rc rim to tires.? I'm on my firsts build.

This is my main ca glue


But I use this as well which can be purchased at hardware stores.

No.
Standard CA glue dries brittle.

Tire CA glue dries a little flexible so works much better on tires.

Here's what I've used: http://crawlerinnovations.com/index....mart&Itemid=70

To broaden this subject one can say that CA glue comes in many different varieties.

The most apparent difference is viscosity before curing. Can be anywhere from "gel", used to build stuff or cross gaps, to "water" using the capillary effect.

Then there are differences in what can be glued with them. Some are better for metal and others for glass. Most have trouble with greasy plastics.

I have used this stuff with good results. Can get it in most hardware stores as well.
