Default RE: Building a Sig 4*40....please support

I used to use CA to build but I switched to Elmer's glue. First off I didn't like what it did to my lungs, the fumes were to harsh. I also didn't like the hard knots that CA left on wood. Joints glued with CA are just plain hard to sand because they are harder than the surronding wood. Since I've switched I feel that I'm a better builder, or at least I am getting better results when I build. The extra time it takes wood glue to set gives me time to make sure that the parts are positioned correctly. Also the joints are easier to sand. And the time it takes for the glue to set doesn't really slow me down any. With a little plannin ahead and I can be workiong on another assembly while the one I just glued dries.

Hipe this helps
