Default too much glue

Hi Mustang yes i agree with you but I havent had a problem with that as I use a very thin layer of glue. an acid brush and bruching it on works great. if you know how to work with poly glue it works wonders. it does take some practice or I agree you get a lousey job with ecessive weight. but the glue doesnt get any heavier when it expands that it was when you put it on originally and fillers add weight. so in my personal opinion I figure if i have to glue it anyways which do i want to do use the glue to fill my joints and not add any more weight than i normally have to add using the glue to join the pieces or do I want to add weight to my plane by having to add fillers.


Basically is is personal choice and knowing the properties of the glue you are using. either method will work fine if done properly. I just give an alternate method as that is the only way people will learn new ways. It is just like the debate over which method is best and easiest to glass with epoxy, polyester resin, or poly urethane.
