Rob, I have used the super glue on scales prior to assembling the knife, laying the scales on a piece of wax paper and pouring it on, let dry and repeat. That works if you have a obvious crack, as far as finishing, I lay the knife on wax paper aply some glue , then rub it around with a corner of wax paper or newspaper. I find the qtips leaving little fuzzies all over. There are varying types of s-glue; super thick, super thin etc. and all are assisted in curing by carbon dioxide (breath). There is an excellerant sold that I think is called Hot Stuff(House of Tools).It speeds up the cure time but I'm not sure its worth the cost and bother. I like the super thin for hair line cracks. You might want to get some of the remover(super solvent) while your at it. As you can guess this stuff runs everywhere and it usually ends up on your fingers. I have yet to find a source for large quantities of it in Canada. Oh yeah, keep it in the fidge to extend the life of it. Hope this helps.
