Default RE: Glue

Sumo Glue is by Loctite and is similar to Gorilla Glue. They are both similar in the way they cure and foaming is a product of this curing. Sumo Glue foams about 1/4 less than Gorilla Glue and cures white, while Gorilla Glue foams more and cures yellow (although Gorilla has come out with a white curing glue.) Also, this type of glue does not cure rigid like Epoxy and Super Glue but remains slightly flexible. These glues also allow about 10 minutes to get the parts aligned before the real curing begins.

I keep 3 types of glue in my 'first aid kit'. They are: Sumo Glue, 5 minute Epoxy, and foam safe CA (Super Glue). I don't use hot glue on airplanes due to its additional weight.
