Quick google search yielded some DIY recipes. Try 1 part chlorine to 2 parts water.

Gotta ask, why the activator for super glue?

It sets up pretty fast anyway..

I use the blue top Gorilla glue that is supposed not to dry super hard. Anyhow it does not dry as fast as some of the others. I use it on scarf joints and on the bottom where I cant get activator I have seen it still not dry after an hour.

Did a bit of research. Got an email in to the company that made the stuff to see if it is still available.

I get mine from Richelieu.   It’s a cabinet supply shop.  Other cabinet supply places probably have it too
