Was selecting Titebond over Titebond II a poor choice for normal applications? I'm building a Kadet LT-25 with a combination of CA and Titebond, but I'm trying to minimize the use of CA in favor of the titebond since I really don't like the CA fumes. I don't have any definate plans to put floats on my LT-25, but should I make definate plans to NOT put floats on it since I'm using titebond?
I think the titebond will be ok. When flying off water you probably want to coat the balsa airframe with a coat of clear dope to help avoid warping and splitting. For the paranoid, i.e. me, choose from CA, Ambroids, Epoxy, Polyurathane, and/or TB II.
