Default RE: Gorilla glue, any user tips?

Hi again,

Thanks for all of the very useful replies!

I have another question now to Vicman, regarding this point though.

I usually use tape on the joint to force the foaming action back down into the joint. The main caution is to clamp your parts securely because the foam action will jack the pieces apart.
The instructions in my kit do suggest taping the joints as an option aswell, saying that it gives a better finish to the glue. I know I have to weigh down the EPP wing halves on a plastic sheet, but what is the best tape to use for this, & will I be able to get the tape off afterwards? Is there a clear tape strong enough for this, as I need to check that the joints wont force apart.

Thanks again,

Ian,
