On the super glue, it's been a fairly common practice of mine to keep a
few
tubes handy.
We didn't have any at our disposal the night before last because we've
just
moved
into a new shop space and didn't have all of our goods and resources
moved
over yet.
But, it's definitely something I keep handy on about half of the
occasions I
have to glue
the apex seals together for assembly.  You're dead right about it being
a
pain in the rear;
you have to glue the corner piece on exactly right or it won't insert in
the
seal groove...
been there, done that, got the t-shirt.  :)

Brian,
Do you use any particular type of superglue
