- [Hot Stuff Original] Thin CA Glue with a viscosity (3cps) similar to water and no surface tension. Have the parts that fit exactly together, get them in position, run this instant glue along the crack, it'll wick right in. If you have tight-fitting joints of non-porous material, this glue will give you the best results as it won't create any extra space between the pieces. Since you get the parts aligned before applying the glue, you can be sure they'll be perfectly in place when the glue cures.
- [Super T MEDIUM] Gap-Filling CA Glue has a viscosity (200-300 cps) similar to syrup. This super glue is perfect for gluing somewhat porous materials and pieces which have small gaps between them. It cures at a slower speed (10-25 sec) than Hot Stuff. You can bond wood, metal,rubber, nitrile, composites like carbon fiber and Kevlar and plastics. To bond two parts together, apply the [Super T] to one part and accelerator to the other part, then push together and hold tightly for around 30 seconds.
- [Special T THICK] Ultra Gap-Filling CA Glue has a viscosity (1150-1500) similar to honey. Works great when you use it to bond both porous and non-porous parts, and it can fill larger gaps. It is best used to glue parts that are missing pieces or don’t fit very well together. The gap-filling capability is very useful when there is a large chunk missing from a surface- filling that space with Special T can preserve the structural integrity, seal the area from moisture and contaminants.
- [NCF Quick Accelerator] is the best accelerator you will find anywhere. All of our accelerators dramatically decrease the curing time of the glue and force the glue to cure when it wouldn't otherwise, but NCF Quick is less expensive per ounce, has a more pleasant odor than the others, and comes in a convenient 6oz aerosol can for easy application. This accelerator is active for several minutes, so you can spray several pieces at once if you are making multiple bonds.
- [US-1 Super Solvent] is the very best product to debond and dissolve CA Glues from our kit, and it will also remove super glue made by other companies. Just a little bit is usually enough to unstick your hands and remove the CA glue, and as Super Solvent does not go bad with age, it makes sense to always have a bottle within the reach of your non-glued hand! You can also avoid getting your fingers glued in the first place by using our poly gloves for CA glue.

Alexander II of Macedon, the more famous Alexander's uncle? Wow, he's niche - I think I've only ever come across him through his association with Iphicrates, the Athenian general. I'm not an expert on ancient Macedonia, mind. Out of interest typed him to Google Scholar and JSTOR and absolutely nothing crops up, so he might be fun to research as there doesn't seem to be much work on him.
I can see from Oxford Classical dictionary that ancient sources to Alexander II are Diodorus of Sicily's Bibliotheca Historica 15, 60-77, Plutarch's Life of Pelopidas, and Aeschines' oration On the Embassy. You'll be able to get all of these online on public domain (i.e. really old) translations. I can only make an informed recommendation for a Plutarch translation if you want to invest on a good, up-to-date translation with full notes and introduction, and that's Waterfield's Oxford Classic translation.
For secondary reading, I'd go to Blackwell's and/or Brill's companions on Ancient Macedonia, see what they have on Alexander II, and they should point you to the direction of any secondary reading, if there is some to be found. The companions are ridiculously expensive though so you'll prob need to go to your closest university library to get access to them. Also, I haven't gotten my hands on one myself but Elizabeth Carney's recently published collection of essays on Macedonian court might be worth checking out as well.
Good luck with your project and let us know how you get on, interesting stuff!
With the victory of the Grancius River, Alexander's Macedonians were in bouyant moods, yet the cities of Asia Minor stood in their way and soon the Great King himself was looking to respond.
