Default RE: Glue???

I use different types of adhesives for different jobs. I've been building for most of my 67 years and RC since 1979. I use CA just for tacking....especially for wing ribs and as Gray Beard said use epoxy for firewalls and landing gear mounts but my favorite is Titebond carpenter's glue. It is very strong and sands well. Of course it takes a bit to dry but if you are building a kit then you are enjoying the leisurely part of this hobby and in my opinion Titebond is a superior adhesive. As someone mentioned earlier CA does not work the best with hardwoods so Titebond (aka aliphatic resin) is better there too. Hope that helps.
