Useful tip

Another "tip"... Always wear nitrile/latex gloves when working with CA glues. I've found it much easier to remove latex than it is skin from a project.

Stick with the nitrile, they are much better quality than the latex.

I use the blue nitrile gloves at work
I once made the mistake of welding with them on
They turn in to nasty stuff when they melt

For US and Canadian users, "methylated spirits" is denatured alcohol. I have heard that a sodium bicarbonate dusting will catalyze an instant bonding, can anyone confirm?

When your methylated spirits or sodium bicarbonate is just out of reach and you cannot put down your just glued project, try spit http://metalworkingfun.com/images/smilies/bleh.gif
I have used various commercial iso-cyante glues in shops I have worked in and saliva always worked when the commercial kicker was out of reach. Liberally lick your finger then quickly and lightly (so as not to bond your finger to the work) swipe over the glue-line. It should set in a second or two.

Well at least you can not misplace your spit
I will have to try that
