Default RE: Adhesive Question

I use CA thin for tack glueing only. I stopped using thick CA. Aliphatic resign glues work fast if you don't use more than just enough to do the job. Wiping each side of a joint to be glued with aliphatic resin glue and waiting until a skin has formed on both pieces before finish glueing will provide a very strong joint.

As others have indicated, save epoxy glue for those joints requiring the maximum in strength and fuel proofing. I haven't bothered learning to use the foaming gorilla glues that are available today. I'm content with the results I get from the glues I am used to using.
