And this stuff dries fast right?
It depends how thick you apply it, but yeah, reasonably quick.
if you keep the coats nice and thin, maybe an hour or so per coat.
maybe a couple hours at the end so it's good and hard before you sand it.
I didn't worry about it getting ugly in the process. It doesn't seem necessary to sand between coats, just keep adding coats until you figure it's thick enough. I did around 6 I think, but I accidentally sanded through in one patch, so I did another one which was extra heavy in that area, and let it cure longer, since it was a thicker coat.
It looked all crusty and terrible. I just sanded it down with the radius block until it looked good.
A couple warnings, besides the obvious not gluing yourself.
It gives off some nasty vapors. I don't think they're especially bad compared to a lot of glues, but probably best to avoid them. they'll sting your eyes and nose. some basic active ventilation(a small fan) should help a lot to keep them out of your face while you're applying it.
Don't spill it on your clothes. It reacts with cotton producing a lot of heat(enough to burn you), and lots of CA steam. Not pleasant at all. Some paper towel seems to do this as well. I wiped up a small puddle that I spilled on my workbench and it got so hot that I actually thought it was going to catch fire.
A shortcut if you do like I did and apply a later coat overthick: The stuff actually cures from water vapor in the air. If you've got a bit where you put it on too thick, and know you're just going to be sanding it off anyways, you can harden it faster by putting it in a steamy room. (I just through it on the bathroom counter, and had a shower) Probably holding it over a boiling pot or kettle would work as well. It'll dry very cloudy or even crusty white when you do this. I just had one spot which was taking hours to dry and didn't feel like waiting anymore. I knew I was sanding it off so I figured "why wait?"
