Default RE: Epoxy or CA for framing?

ORIGINAL: Rodney

In most cases, a good wood glue like Elmers Carpenter Glue or Titebond, is far superior to any of the CA's for framing. The main reason is that wood glues handle shock (read hard landings or minor crashes) much better. Most CA's are quite brittle and will break under shock loads. Titebond is also quite water resistant.
Agree on that. For me wood glue is far superior than CA, definatly for framing. I only use CA for hinges or to reinforce the thread for servoscrews.
