Strange.
I have been using odorless CA for Martin binding reglues for well over 20 years, and upwards of 50 per year. I can count on one hand the ones that have had to be redone. I have also used CA on many of my new guitars, mostly celluloid bound. Some of those guitars are over 30 years old, and no loose bindings yet.
I contend that using acetone base 'cellulose' (Duco) cement on celluloid will accelerate shrinkage, while I have seen no evidence that CA has such behavior. I use CA on new construction because it does not soften celluloid. Using Duco (or homemade glue made from celluloid shavings dissolved in acetone) can soften celluloid binding, and it can take many days to harden back up.
