RE: Kit building essentials
Ailphatic (fat based) and Polyvinyl Acetate (Lord knows what based) are different animals. Aliphatic is "white glue" and PVA is "yellow glue". Original Titebone is aliphatic and Titebone II is PVA. Titebond III is truly waterproof but is less flexible. Some "give" can prevent joint or wood breakage.
They all work, but the PVA is a little better at moisture resistance once dry and, I think, is more flexible. Good features in an airframe, especially one that may see damp snow or fly off water in its career. Still can wipe up the excess with a wet rag or finger when working.
