Bob,

Great tip for a fast put together.

Just so you know there is a difference between using CA and epoxy. I doubt I will convince you but using CA as a laminating resin in the way you suggest  will work for small parts that do hot require structural strength. The problem with CA is when you spray it with kicker it becones very brittle. Letting the CA dry without the kicker would be only slightly better for structural strength.

For structural strength nothing beats epoxy other wise CA would be the goto glue for carbon fiber wings for the stealth figher and bomber instead of epoxy. 

Wow. Pedigree and all.

I guess we should just tell him to forget using the T-88 and use CA and spray it with gobbs of accelerator as the structual adhesive. Then tell everybody else that askes about epoxy adhesive to just use CA. Who knew! You learn something new everyday.
 
God job guys. He's probably more confused now than when he asked. So much for those who have years of experience in the industry. I guess its more important to talk about yourself and how your more right than the other guy then to help a fellow modeler and answer his question. At least I shared what my experience is and how it applied to his question.

That's what I was thinking, about the previous posts, right before my last post. But I thought I would be the grown up and just try to mention that no one else really offered an opinion other than to promote CA Glue which of course had nothing to do with the question reaaz had asked in the first place.

reaaz asked a question that was about System Three's T-88 adhesive NOT the wonders of using CA Glue. I'm sorry that you felt the need to talk about wadded panties, but it sounds like maybe you have had a lot of experience in that department.

He asked a question about T-88 and you still have yet to offer any critique on what he was asking. For someone that has the pedigre u say you have I would think you could have easily added to or subtracted from my opinion on whether T-88 is a good or bad product. You did not even try and went immediately to talk ablut CA. Next when I tryed to point out that you where off the current topic and that CA adhesive was not the current topic it seems like your the one who got upset and yet you still have yet to offer an opinion on T-88.

Most people when they don't know anything about a product or process will chose not to offer an opinion lest being exposed as being foolish.
It's almost like your upset that I answered the question before you had chance to offer your pearls of wisdom, of which is yet to be seen. This is not a competition on who's got the most experience or the best advice. I was just trying to help out a fellow modeler and you felt the need to present your credentials. Hmmm. How does that help reaaz decide to use or not use T-88?

If you have some wisdom to offer on T-88, OFFER IT, otherwise don't answer. Quite simple from my point of view.

unsubscibed from this thread to avoid any further arguement.
