Bill P is correct. Ca glue is extrememly brittle and will not survive a sheering force. I use it all of the time when building my R/C airplanes. I never use it on engine mounts or when glueing the tail surfaces to the fuselage. Ca does not handle heat well and breaks down under heat. Also, Ca can be removed from most surfaces by using Acetone. On the skin, it burns while curing. Removal can be done either with Acetone or simply submersing the effected parts under water and then scrubbing -- it tends to then peel off.

Cyanoacrylate is the generic name for substances such as methyl-2-cyanoacrylate, which is typically sold under trademarks like Superglue and Krazy Glue, and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate or n-butyl-cyanoacrylate, which are used in medical glues such as Dermabond and Traumaseal. Cyanoacrylate adhesives are sometimes known as "instant adhesives". The acronym "CA" is quite commonly used for industrial grades.

Cyanoacrylate was discovered by Harry Coover at Eastman Kodak during World War II when searching for a way to make synthetic gun-sights (a substitute for spider silk). It did not solve this problem, since it stuck to all the apparatus used to handle it. It was first marketed to industry as well as consumers in February 1955 as a product called "Flash Glue" which is still available today. It was patented in 1956 and developed into Eastman 910 adhesive in 1958. The new glue was demonstrated in 1959 on the television show I've Got a Secret when the host Garry Moore was lifted into the air by two steel plates held together with a drop of Eastman 910. Cyanoacrylates are now a family of adhesives based on similar chemistry.
