I don't know how much experience you have with CA glue but all my trials with the stuff failed. I've seen Nick's videos and he seems to be using it all over the place but whenever I tried to fix something with CA it didn't hold (and I was using the same stuff as Nick, also the accellerator).

I should note that I never use CA glue for structural purposes. I use it for "tack welds" that will later be glued structurally with epoxy. CA glue is brittle and doesn't make a strong bond with wood. It is strong enough to hold plywood in place until it is fiberglassed and epoxied, but I wouldn't put the boat on the roof of the car when it is only held together with CA glue.

I know of at least one strip-planked boat that was glued up with CA glue. It seemed to work OK, but I don't think it made life easier in any way.
