I have been building for over 40 years and I rarely use CA glue, in fact it always goes bad in the bottle long before I use it up. When I do use it, I find that the thin is more useful than thick or medium. CA is expensive, brittle and sometimes hard to use because it cures too fast before you can get parts perfectly aligned.

For general construction I use original Titebond woodworking glue, it’s cheap, reasonably fast drying, easy to sand, and strong. Plus it’s easy to clean up excess as you go with a damp rag. I use 30 min epoxy for firewalls, wing joiners and other high stress areas. I use finishing epoxy for laminating, laying fiberglass on center section joints, fuel proofing and when mixed with micro balloons or chopped fiberglass as a filler.

I often work on several parts of the airplane at the same time so that one assembly is drying while I am working on another. I’ll often build the left wing panel, right wing panel, fuselage, and tail all at the same time on different building boards. While one assembly is drying, I just stand the boad on it’s end against a wall and move another assembly to the building table. I find that I don’t waste much time waiting for glue to dry by building this way.
