I hate CA glue. Hate it, hate it, hate it! I would love working with photoetch a lot more if I didn't have to use flippin' CA glue. I feel like it requires a finesse and a skill that I have yet to master... nor really want to.
Today could have (should have) ended badly. I was using older glue that ought to have been thrown away a long time ago, but I hate wasting a nearly full bottle. All I needed to do was add the rotary dial and the cord. After a lot of foul muttering and having to hold the pieces together for way longer than a new bottle of CA glue would have required, I finished up the interior work and walked away in an all together foul mood. The area around the brass tack in the middle of the dial is a bit sloppy, but I have no interest to revisit it. Chalk it up to my lack of expertise with such a fussy adhesive.
And yes, I threw the stupid bottle away in frustration.
