> Just a thought: would it be possible to back up the strip temporarily?

I am assembling the entire design on my workbench first so when I glued them up; I glued them as a straight stick on the workbench, with no clamp directly over the joint.

I was just thinking of my model building days of when I would use a straight pin through the joint to secure everything together. I just have to do it in a way that I would never see the hole created by the pin.

Now that makes me think what about CA, I know the subject has come up on the board before, but I can not find anything about how the joint will hold up under stress. Then what about how epoxy curing over it.

CA tends to dry very white, so how noticeable would it be?
