I use CA only where I need to. I am a fan of yellow glue or my favorite, UHU Hart. CA will wick in more that you think and you basically use more than you really need to. Balsa is very porous stuff. That adds weight and cost. Yellow glue is cheaper to use and much easier to get off your fingers. My heart will alsays be with Hart though.
