Glue filler and strengthener and recipe

I dont know if this will be of any use to anyone, (or if someone has already said) but, has anyone tried the superfast SUPER glue and bicarbonate of soda method of filling a gap with HUGE strength? just experiment with it. a very short working time , it hardens rapidly, it can be sanded and is easily as hard as bone, have used it to form a new guitar bridge so SUPER tough and very smooth. use a metal fingernail file for smooth as silk finish.
WARNING dont let it touch your skin. and DO experiment first .. that is essential.. you will see why. FAST.
also btw try soaking white toilet tissue and blending it after a few hours squeeze out the excess water , add elmers glue and some cornflour about 33% of each ... more paper for thicker mix... you can model this for example curved tiny struts on biplane etc. or use as a filler .. sandable when dry

Thank you - I have used the superglue and bicard trick for a while now - great for household repairs.

The PVA, tissue and corn starch is a new one to me though - would like to try that as I can think of several uses.

If you add just corn starch to PVA, do you know of this will also create a kind of filler?
