OK, then those who build with aliphatics... do you butter the end of each and every piece? Wings too? Frame the entire thing out, then go back piece by piece and butter? Fillet as necessary?
I'm sorry if this sounds so silly. It's just every building manual I have seen uses CA. I'm going to be building in the basement. I used some CA in the house before and the Mrs was NOT happy. It's mainly concerns about domestic tranquility.
Thanks for the help everybody.
I used to build with CA, but gave it up many years ago. First of all was the health reasons. I just don't like what it does to my eyes, nose, and lungs. It was unpleasant building with it. The only thing I keep it around for now is for hardening threads that I cut in wood, and for the reviews that I do. Otherwise, I don't use it.
The other reason why I build with wood glue is that I get a better built plane out of it, IMHO. Youdon't get hard spots that are next to impossble to sand like you do with CA. Also, with wood glue you get a little bit of time to make sure your parts are set properly before the glue hardens, but with CA it has to be right the first time or your sunk.
This is one area where Minnflyer and I always disagree. He likes to build with CA, I prefer wood glue.
