Default RE: Which glue to use.

I stick mainly to CA's and epoxy for all of my construction, and rebuilding. Some people have
reported on a thread, and at our flying field that they have developed a bad reaction from the
use of CA's and epoxies. It would be a good idea from a health stand point to use less CA's where possible just so to lower the chance of getting a health problem from the CA fumes. My
only suggestions is to use a glue that is somewhat water proof just in case the plane winds up on
floats, or gets drenched flying in a light rain shower or two. My Eagle II was lost in a farm field
for some 8 weeks in Oregon's rain, and was really soaked when it was found by a farmer. Once
dried out, there was no CA join failures anywhere. It flys very well since rebuilding.
