I'm also a big fan of GluBoost! Welcome from a fellow sponsor.

Glad to see you here and thanks for becoming a sponsor. I've also been using the GluBoost and I like it much better than any of the other accelerators I've used.

So I just built two guitars using GluBoost for the first time. Here are my thoughts and observations:

1. I am convinced I can do better detail work using Gluboost as I can quickly form a bond without any risk of CA turning white.
2. I am using CA for lots of steps now that I didn't before = this has sped up my build time considerably. For example, I now use CA for bindings which lets me scrape and level minutes later instead of the next day using fish glue.
3. 1 bottle seems to last me a little more than 2 guitars at my rate of consumption...not a huge expense considering the upside.
4. In conclusion, I've died and gone to heaven. Now if Gear-Up Products can figure out a way to ship to Canada I'll be a happy camper. As it is I wait until I visit the US and then ship to my hotel.

I've also been using the Gear Up thin CA and accelerator since it first came out. They are working better for me than previous products I've used. I also especially like being able to use the accelerator and not have to worry about the CA turning white.

I placed an order with them within the past year for their accelerator and there was no issue. Doug, has something changed that they can no longer ship to Canada? I see that their products are now being distributed through Jescar, but it appears you can still order of their site as well. I'll have to drop them a line and find out whats up.

My bad...they do ship to Canada but the last time I checked their shipping costs were rather unreasonable
