Anyone else using the Balsa USA CA glue? Out of Marinette, WI. When I opened a bottle today I was reminded of what struck me last time I had some. The odor of napthalene - moth balls, urinal cake and such. Not sure what purpose it serves, but it's obviously not by accident that it's in there. Nor does it seem to be in other brands. Any ideas?
 
I just use Starbond CA (get it in 16 oz bottles). Only odor is when it fast dries on decayed wood. I usually make one order a year, keep the big bottles in the basement ref., and fill/refill the little ones they send with an order.
