<p>Isn't that what Cortec is for ... to <em>glue</em> the parts together??? <em>Just Kidding</em>!</p>
<p>Of course, you're correct - it is sticky if not dry before assembly. In the rare instance where I had to separate two parts that were mated wet and then dried, it was no big deal to slide a thin dull blade (metal putty knife) between them to non-destructively separate them - no damage to the parts whatsoever. But I certainly agree I'd let it dry first if I even <em>thought</em> I'd be…</p>

If parts are assembled while Cortec is still wet, they will be more difficult to take apart, should the need arise.

<p>Caleb recommended just plain 'ole water. I honestly don't remember if he said to use distilled or not, but that's what I use and it works fine. Seems to dry pretty fast, but Caleb told me it's perfectly OK to assemble treated mating surfaces with the Cortec still wet.</p>

Hey Jacob. I dont know if you have a Fleet Farm by you, but thats where I get mine. I also thinks the Home Depot has it.
