Default Using glue...

I always use epoxy or aliphatic resin, (carpenter's wood glue),
when extra strength is required such as firewalls and landing
gear blocks. I make sure to use a epoxy with a longer setting
time, like 30-minute, to allow the epoxy to wick into the wood.
I'm kinda old-school when it comes to glues and I'm still not con-
vinced that CA's are the way to go. I'll be starting a Sig Somethin'
Extra soon and will go with mostly all CA glue except those areas
mentioned above. CA is lighter than wood glue and it has it's
place in building.
