I just realized the thin CA I bought for $9 bucks at the LHS today is foam safe. Can it dependably be used on balsa? I've never used it before and haven't opened the bottle. It's not BSI either. I didn't pay enough attention.

I think you will be OK. I have never heard of it not working on "typical" hobby materials after working 35 years at a local hobby shop and selling gallons of the stuff. I think some use it on clear plastic like canopies because when it kicks off, it doesn't fog the plastic.. It doesn't give off the fumes that bother some people either.If it's a long drive back to the hobby shop, and you have alternatives, just tuck it away along with the receipt and exchange it on your next trip, as long as you haven't opened it, of course.
Type at you later,

Rusty, that's all I have used for years. My sinuses wont take the regular fumes. It will work just fine.

It's the same active ingredient with a different solvent. It works fine, for the most part.

More spendy, just as strong, doesn't mess up your nose.

Oh, good. Thank you guys for the replies. I do get upper respiratory problems the day after a session of using thin CA. It's like I have a bad cold. So I'll go ahead and use it.
That's what I needed to know,
