Default RE: All About Glues

ORIGINAL: shd3920
On difficult situations where I need a quick set I will use mostly thin CA but occassionally I will use medium. This includes formers, some ribs, and sheeting that needs to be set quickly (but then I go back and reglue the whole thing with wood glue).
Adding wood glue on top of a CA glue joint does not add much, if any, strength.
Wood glue needs to be inside the joint, and needs to soak into the wood, to create a strong bond.
