Thanks, Don41, that's what I was looking for. As a newbie I'm never sure of anything. Except that for us old guys, by the time we finish the "tinkle" part almost any glue would have cured completely.

Chuckle,,, I hear you Frank. There's danger of falling asleep during the tinkle process (:-).



DR1: I bought a bottle of the solvent on recommendation of the LHS but it never got opened (I'm glad I didn't now). These informative forums pointed out that adding Monokote trim with Windex and a small amount of heat would work. I used that method on my Senior Telemaster and so far it is holding very well.

On the Elder40 I'm presently building I used the self adhesive type of Monokote applied directly to the balsa (for the various trim sections). I'll soon find out if that works out.

My next plane (1/4 scale Spacewalker) will be in Sig Koverall. I think I'll skip the heat sensitive glue you paint on and go with clear dope to hold it in place.

(Time for a new thread,, I'm drifting off my own subject)
