CA does come in different formulas, mostly the difference is the water content. Off the shelf stuff has a higher water content so it won't bond as hard (so fingers can be pryed apart). RC glue has less water in order to bond tighter (if you ever stuck your fingers with tire glue, you already know what I'm talking about).

When gluing tires (N/A on preglued tires, but I always still run a bead of CA around the tire just to be sure), always wipe the tire bead with alcohol to clean the mold release off or the CA won't bond as well. Hope that helps...
