The "pure" CA glue is the ultra thin, anything else has just had stuff added to thicken it and slow down it's setting speed. You choose based on the task at hand - I use the thin to install bindings, I use somewhat thicker, less runny for drop fills on finish dings. You can accelerate with the addition of humidity, either mist or simply breathing on the repair. You can accelerate more with baking soda, in a power or a mist. You can fill nut slots with baking soda and drop on thin CA glue for a pretty permanent repair. Thin CA glue wants as near to zero gap as possible, so press-fit/touching. Thicker CA glue can deal with small gaps, but with reduced strength. I've been using Hot Stuff lately.
