[quote="Paul Tarlow"][quote="Gil Reynolds"]Super Glues is not a very healthy choice. A chemist in one of my classes informed me that when it burns it gives off cyanide gas.

The scientific name for super glue is "cyanoacrylate". Cyanide is chemically bound and even at room temp the fumes are considered hazardous (and especially hard on the eyes).
Add sufficient heat and the cyanide is released. I cannot find my notes but I believe the "danger" zone was about 400F.
