Zap a gap alternative

Hi all,

Have you all found anything similar to zap a gap that is worth trying?
I'm looking for something with similar strength and finishing clarity.

Thanks!

An nail shop that women use will sell a nail glue that is the same thing.
I've been using Loc-Tite superglue:
http://loctiteproducts.com/p/4/2/sg_brush/overview/Loctite-Super-Glue-Brush-On.htm

I like the fact that it comes in a bottle with a brush built into the cap. With a wide mouth on the bottle, you don't get the glue hardening in the spout like you do with zap a gap and with the small brush it's easy to put it only where you want it on the fly.
I like Krazy Glue.
A couple of other products to consider if you ever use epoxy instead of some type of glue are Clear Cure Goo and Bug Bond.
Question: Are you saying you want an alternative to CA glues or just another brand?
Alternatives to CA glue form me would be Plastic Dip, Hard-As-Hull or Sally Hanson's Clear Nail Polish.

Thank you all!
Stonefish- My question was if there is a similar product like zap-a-gap/ca glue.


Thanks again

When I checked out your link to the loctite product...at the bottom of the page it says: "Not recommended for: Styrofoam, foam rubber, pure bone china, glass, silicone rubber, PTFE, polyethylene and polypropylene".
Would the common craft-type foams we use fall under any of these?
