Which of these Loctite glues?

If you could use only one of these three options, what would you use for gluing tips?
Would you rely on one of the two in the photo or would you use Loctite Professional Liquid? I live in Nevada where there is very little humidity. Which one do you recommend?
 
I personally choose the loctite ultra gel control for tips. The gel control is a little more elastic and seems to minimize the amount of tips that pop off. That's my personal experience anyway. Good luck !

Lowes is a good place to shop. Much better than Home Depot.

I've seen repairmen use the blue gel tube on my tips and haven't had any pop off.

The viscosity of the liquid is to thin for me especially on the layerd tips.

Rob,

Something to remember is that CA's are there purist when they are water thin. They have to add stuff to it to make it thicker, decreasing it's potential bonding strength.

CA's work best gluing glass to glass, so the smoother and flatter the surfaces the better.

I like the Loctite professional because it's right in the middle. It's much thinner than the Gel's, but not so much that it's tough to use.

I've used the blue gel for a few years now. Never had a tip pop off. Player, or J/B.
 
Glues?

I just went out last night to a super Wal-Mart and got 3 different types of GEL
Locktite-been using for years but I am now looking for a better one
Gorilla glue gel (never used soooo test time)
And finally super glue brand
Let you know as I go along

Thanks everyone for the input. I'll continue using the LocTite Professional Liquid for now. A couple of years ago I was using LocTite Gel Control and noticed that months after installation, the glue line appeared gritty/chrystalized. Since switching to the professional liquid, it seems the bond is tighter/stronger/cleaner.
