Default RE: The VERY BEST Tip I ever got...

Here is another great tip...When you drill a hole through the Fuselage for mounting the switch, or whatever, and you want to put CA in the hole to harden the wood always put your finger over the hole to prevent CA from running onto the cover. Then instead of having CA on your cover you will end up with a big CA fingerprint on the side of the plane. This will help if you ever need to prove that it is your plane, plus you will probably have enough skin from your finger for a DNA sample as well..

Seriously, now I always soak the wood with CA BEFORE I drill the hole. I also put CA in the belly pan bolt holes before I cut the covering away. It hardens the wood and glues the cover to the belly pan preventing oil from getting under the cover around the screw holes.
