Gosh I think we all need to lighten up. What difference does it make what kind of glue a builder uses. If you don't like the product don't use it.

So true. This conversation seems very familiar. Oh wait. I'm thinking back to 1977 listening to a bunch of guys bagging on a certain glue, Hot Stuff. Said it was junk and it would never be strong enough to build an airplane out of. They sang praises about Ambroid, Titebond and Sig epoxy. Seems we can't gey by without a bottle of CA nowadays.


I do have GG in my shop too. I use it alot when dealing with foam. I have sheeted wings with it on two occasions with great results. Wouldn't even think about doing hinge points without it. My first few times were not ideal but with everything you have to develop a technique.
