Hello, I started a thread about the CA fumes not even noticing another similar thread just before mine. Without continueing THAT subject...I would like to know how you guys are glueing "SOME" kits
without using CA. I am speaking of... not just the glue but PROCEDURE too!!!
Example...... this little Sig LT-25,(and most of the Sig 120 I just finished), calls for a "DRY ASSEMBLY" first. You line everything up and then hit it with CA. This kit.... and maybe others?, had 90% locking parts in the wing, that just seems like it HAD to be done their way. The shear webs fore and aft, are all in one piece with notches that HAVE to lock into the ribs. (from the bottom). So....I couln't do it the old fashioned way of setting down one rib at a time. There just isn't reasonable time to put this together with glue on all the parts without any glue starting to set up. AND... just "surface glueing" with all the other types of glues on a dry assembled wing or fuse, just would not be good procedure. OR... am I missing somthing here??? NOTE......
On my 4* 120..... I did cheat on the pre-assembled fuse and applied epoxy to the firewall, and a couple forward formers. I LOVE epoxy!!! Putting aside the fumes....I just don't trust CA like I do Titebond and epoxy.....lownslo.....
