WHat type of super glue do you use Randy?

Steve has a coin holder that he made on his blog

Thoughts about Coin Cutting with a JIG:  For some folks the jig might be the best option, but here are the advantages of super gluing the coin to a thin piece of wood.

1.  For intricate cutting, the jig leave the middle unsupported.
2.  Scrolling with a jig seems unnatural to me.  Dealing with a small piece of wood is much more familiar and comfortable.
3.  With the glue to wood method, at the end of the project, you are left with another "wood" copy of your coin, very neat.
4.  You don't have to have a different jig for every coin size.

Advantages of the Jig method
1.  When you are done cutting, you don't have to soak your piece in acetate to release the coin
2.  You can cut indoors with absolutely no sawdust  (metal waste is minimal and does't settle outside your work area)

To each their own, but for me, I prefer the more minimal superglue approach suggested to me by a fellow scroller that goes by "oily".
