Default RE: Melting sheeting to foam wings with CA?
ORIGINAL: hardra

I have heard of a technique for sheeting foam wings that involves spraying the foam with cyano-accrylate and then pressing the sheeting into place. Apparently this give the lightest possibly bond because the foam actually melts a little and soaks up into the balsa, so the builder can use less adhesive than would be needed to actually glue the balsa in place.

I think I read a post about it on this forum, but I have been searching all night and can’t find it again.

Has anyone ever heard of this technique and can anyone direct me towards information regarding it?

Thanks anyway,

Hardra
Don't beleive everything you read on the internet...spraying CA onto foam cores is a BAD idea. Go try putting CA onto some foam, it melts more than "a little!"
