Default Use them all!!!

Normally I use the aliphatic glues because its cheaper, sands well, and I see no reason to be in a hurry. However, if the piece to be glued requires extensive pinning, rubber bands or whatever to hold in place while the glue is drying I use thin CA. This applies to planking on the front and trailing prortion of the wing, planking on the top of the fuselage, and stringers that need to be bent. I also use 5 and 12 minute epoxy a lot. I use them all. They all work but CA and epoxies are much more expensive than aliphatics.
