Default Which glue do you use?

Hey guys,

Just curious to see what everyone uses when doing a full build of 1/5 or larger scale warbirds.

For the frame up stage do you use CA, Epoxy or Gorilla glue.

If using Gorilla glue do you use Gorilla glue or the Gorilla wood glue.

Thanks for the comments and input.

I use titebond on balsa as well as CA. The CA tacks things into place and the titebod keeps everything together. I use epoxy for ply parts.

Titebond and epoxy where needed. CA only when planking.

I use all the above , but the Groilla glue you have to use with care and clamp vary well

I do the same thing. Epoxy in the high stressed areas.

Thanks guys,

I've always used CA then Epoxy. I have heard people starting to use Gorilla glue more
and was wondering if I should give it a try. I'll probably stick with Epoxy for my current build.

Thanks,
Curt
