Not long ago, I posted on the forums that I tried GG and was shocked at how bad it turned out. Since then, I have actually followed the directions and followed others advise on how to use it correctly. I would not use anything else to glue on wing skins now. Ive used it in framing, firewalls, sheeting. Some places I would probably still use epoxy. But for the most part. I am converted to GG. You just have to learn to use it SPARINGLY lol. Thats my two cents and Im not that smart :P

Yet you very rudely told us not to say anything to try to convince you otherwise when you irrationally tried it at reinforcing joints from the outside, not thinking of reading the instructions first. As I said then, it's the best to glue skins to foam cores as it expands and greatly increases the area, specially on the weaker and porous foam. Yep, I agree with your last statement[>:]
You wrote:
"The wing was already glued up with carpenters wood glue, Im not a beginer I just put some around the joints in the corners and on one section of sheeting I used it between the ribs and sheeting. Once again, I am not a beginer, just first and last time GG will be used for anything in my shop. My choice. does not mean you guys didnt have good luck with it. I just dont like it and not anything that can be said about it pertaining to RC will convince me otherwise. So save all yoru comments on how I did it wrong to yourself."
Then,
"Uh, I have skinned a fair share of wings in my life. Been building for 30 years. Never had an issue with it till I posted here
The small area I did try the GG you could not get a card into. As far as "if it looks wet, to much glue, and if it looks dry, you need more???? WTH LOL. What if it looks...damp? LMAO Too complicated and I still see no benefits.
I think the OP got his answer. Seems Gorrilla Glue sales reps or investers have hijacked this thread now. Im not using the stuff on any of my planes. You can write your long, foggy, unclear, responses till you pass away of old age. Not going to change my mind
As far as Im concerned, anything wrote about GG and foam wings is just Blah Blah Blah Blah
Epoxy is the way, unless you dont know how to use it properly. If you did, you would not be looking for another glue that would require no intellegence to use."
