How are you curing the glue?
I have been using Duco cement for years, works great.
You need to be using a good UV light to set the glue.Quote:

I use a LED lite and it cures the glue in seconds. It could be a week UV lite; try setting the glued parts out in the sun for a hour or more. If the glue sets you have a week UV lite.Quote:

For sure if you put it in the sun for a short time it will be a cured as it can get! If you want glue that is not tacky after it's cured you will need to buy the right brand or it's not happening. These are usually more costly too, like the Clear Cure Goo that stopped making it due to his other jobs, just didn't have tome to keep making glue for fly fishing. It was the best IMHO, but now there is another brand that is like it, but I don't remember what it is right now.
