In the manual for my Inferno MP7.5 it just says to use CA for glueing the tyres to the rims.
I know that CA stands for contact adhesive, but what sort should I use.
I have several different sorts of CA at home so I was hoping that I could use one of them instead of buying more from the LHS.
Majority of them are the same substance just with a different label.
Are the glues that you guys are using 'cyanoacrylates' ?
If someone could have a look on there bottle and let me know what it says, it would be very much appreciated.

I just took a peek at my bottle of CA. It's the same stuff. The only difference between yours and the LHS stuff may be thick or thin. I use the thin. It's just personal preference, but it gives more time to seat the tires and you may have to re-glue after a couple a runs. Other than that it's the same...
 
CA does NOT stand for contact adhesive it stands for Cyanoacrylate. This is basically super glue. I prefer to use a heavy gap filling CA for my tires, Zap CA to be exact.
 
mine is 'GreatPlanes' thin CA, the thinner it is, the faster it wicks. thicker CA gives more time for small adjustments and it also fills small gaps, where thin cannot. and yes CA means cyanoacrylate and this bottle was 5 or 6 dollars at my LHS.
 
I liek to use thick CA glue. It gives time for ajustments 10-15 seconds. And like bkunar said, it fills small gaps
