Yes, now it looks like frankenshelf. Adds character. What do you think?

You know where the 'cyano' in cyanoacrylate comes from, right? Maybe don't use it for stuff that touches food/drink... 😳

I'm not worried about fully cured CA glue on a non-contact surface of a shelf that holds bottles/milk packs etc., or honestly even fruit whose peel you don't eat.

Given that CA-based glues are used for wound closure and apparently even as dental adhesives, I'll trust https://www.ontariopoisoncentre.ca/household-hazards-items/super-glue/ over the many sites that look like ChatGPT wrote them (mostly trying to sell some food safe alternative). It's not food safe, so I wouldn't glue e.g. a soup bowl with it, but eating an orange that sat on a cured seam in a fridge isn't going to poison you.
