I started to solder my K7, but switched to CA and all went well. Time will tell how the bonds hold up.

I ended up gluing mine.
When I built my F25 trio I used both solder and CA when I could. I started out soldering and finished some of the more delicate things with CA. CA burns for sure.

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

Yeah if you glue any of it you cannot heat it up after that. Heat weakens super glue.
