I'm sing bsi (Bob Smith Industries).  They made about a dozen different kinds - gap filler, insta-cure, etc.  I usually pay arounnd $5.00 a bottle, so it may be a little more expensive than some like.

Can't beat the Home Depot price for a 4-pack of the thin stuff at $1.97:

and the 2-pack of the thick for $1.77

I happen to like the Gorilla Glue brand of CA.  I like the viscosity, working time, etc.  It also seems to come with more in the bottle than other brands.

The best I've found to this point is the Loctite gel-easy to work with, & the tip doesn't
clog up permanently after a few uses.

I prefer those smaller tubes, like the Home Depot link.  That way I can get through a tube before it goes bad.  No monkeying with clogged tips or storing in the refrigerator to prolong life, etc.

My preference these days is Krazy Glue in a bottle with a brush-on applicator in the cap. Best idea since Krazy Glue itself, IMO.

I use about 2 $5.00 bottles of the thin stuff at Hobbu Lobby a year.

I was just going to post the exact same recommendation.

Great stuff.

CA - California
CA - Cyanoacrylate (super glue)

But they probably do weird stuff with it in CA.
