Default RE: 3D Hell Raiser

For you guys who are having trouble with CA and Depron-
Here is what we use and it works very well, very fast .
The CA is Super Gold - or ZAP Oderless .
Then -- the accellerator is INSTASET--which we put in a clean CA bottle (use an old DeBonder bottle washed out with hot soapy water).
Add one of the thin teflon applicator tubes to the Instaset bottle so you can make very fine drips /lines.
We build many Depron models and this works for all joints and CF to foam joints
Second fix - toss all of the other tapes you use
Go to a medical supply discount house and buy -for 50 cents a roll - 1/2", MICROPORE fibre tape .
It is extremely light and tuff.
When you really wreck your model - tack it back together and put a strip of this tape on the joint - then add thin CA -rub in and wick on the INSTASET.
Presto -you have a rock hard splice.
We use this stuff exclusively for hinges too
Never ever have a hinge failure and we really hammer these things.
Also we re inforce all laminations such as those on Shockys -using this .
Our small models are very light - using these techniques -under 6 oz with 3 cell 350 packs
