I didn’t think of mixing glues, nor have I heard of the alcohol spritzer thing - I might give it a go. Thanks!

General purpose tip for Gluing:
Isopropyl Alchohol in a spray mister will speed up Superglue bond time from minutes to seconds.
Mixing glues can be very useful. For example, I’ll use Epoxy for the hollow insides but a drop of Superglue where pieces fit together to hold the pieces together while the Epoxy cures overnight. UV glue is fantastic for that because it cures instantly. But a drop of Superglue with a spritz of alcohol works good too.

Cyanoacrylate accelerator is not IPA. It’s a mix of acetone and amines. You are getting a weak effect from the water in the IPA.

I didn’t say it was accelerator but it works like accelerator. This is the solarpunk forum where you are supposed to recommend hacks.
