Hi Chip,

I bought my glue and accelertor at "www.woodcraft.com" the glue was "USA Gold CA Glue--12846 thick-2 oz.--$8.99" the accelerator was "USA Gold Q-shot Accelerator--124993--2 oz.--$4.99. I would buy extra caps tips for the glue also, I didn't but wish I had. 2 for $1.99. Also, what I found handy for putting on small amounts of glue was using one of the small supper glue used containers that you get at any store for about $2 that has a little needle in the cap to keep the hole clear and putting the Gold glue in it for use. This glue is very handy stuff and I was always finding new uses for it. There were some places that I just couldn't get a clamp and this glue would be my clamp. Just remember to put the superglue on the piece you are building and spray the loose piece you are about to stick on. The other way around and your glue would be set up before you got your loose piece set in place because the piece being built would already be saturated with the accelerator. You have to get your pieces placed just right because you don't have time to hardly move it around.

Good luck on your decorations.
John
