I must agree a thin viscosity epoxy laminating resin would have been a great choice in this application.

Now I have a question for you Zor, you posted: CA has its use for tacking and is easy to take apart (weak joints) and also useful for ARF / RTF models. If CA is good for ARFs and RTF models generally manufactured from the same materials as found in our scratch built or kit built models then why would it not be a suitable adhesive for a complete scratch or kit built model of the same type of materials found in ARFs and RTFs? I only ask because I have been using thin and medium CA almost exclusively for the last 20 + years building entire wooden model airframes, and I have never experienced a model's glue joints coming apart in flight. Could you please elaborate on your statement?

Thanks in advance,

Bob
