Default RE: Which is lighter CA or Titebond?

I know it's a fun "what if" to think about doing an entire plane with epoxy, but in context with the subject of this thread epoxy on the entire plane would add enough weight that it would be noticeable. Epoxy is a heavy adhesive and should be used sparingly whenever possible.<div>
</div><div>As far as measuring out the epoxy. Here is a neat trick that will make it very easy to measure out. Get a small piece of clean cardboard. Take your first bottle of epoxy component and apply it to the cardboard in a small line. Now take the second component and right next to the first line apply a second line that is twice as long. Now use a hobby stick (a.k.a. popsicle stick) and mix the two components together.</div><div>
