CA as a commercially promoted Band-Aid?

[Chuck Czarnik]

 There was a show on history channel last night about "hardware."  I picked it up in the middle when they were talking about CA, and I think they said the glue was accidentally discovered when it glued up a really expensive electron microscope.

They went on to other glues and then mentioned something about epoxy "tape."  Never seen this anywhere, but it *has* to have some kind of model application..  Wing sheeting?

The discussion of the "cultural" impact of duck tape was entertaining also.  My wife just looked at me with a smirk the whole time.... Chuck

I remember being told CA was originally made as a medical tool for this
very 
reason, long long before we were able to use it on our balsa.
