Default RE: Adhesives?

What bruce88123 said! I have Duco glue, which is similar to Ambroids and Ambroids is still available if you need it. I don't use it much, but do have it on hand, for some applications. I still do use Alphatic Resin or what is mostly known as carpenter's (Titebond, Elmers, etc.) glue in my neck of the woods. I find it works very nice for sheeting leading edges or other places, where you want a slow setting, strong bond. It allows you to get glue on all the mateing surfaces, before they are joined. I have 5 minute and 30 minute epoxys. I also have RC Z 56, a great glue for gluing canopies to fuselages or other plastic parts to the airplane. I have on hand Gorila Glue, which is great for gluing anything to anything else.

I don't know of a glue book either. I have found quite a few of the instruction manuals do mention which adhesive to use where a specific type is the better choice.
