Is it wrong to use crazy glue on internal bracing?

It's extremely difficult to remove for future repairs, that's if it holds for long in the first place. Cyanoacrylate glues do have their place in luthier repairs. Bracing would not be one of them...
Thank you.
What about for attaching (metal) sound hole rings? (I assume super glue is the same?) I've been doing that lately instead of using 2 part epoxy, but I'm wondering how long it's going to hold.
I use super glue for just about anything I thnk I wont have to tqke apart. I did use it for bracing and removed it with the super glue solvent. You have to be quick and sure of what you are doing.
