Default RE: First kit...am I crazy

Pull up the build threads for your kit here on RCU, some very good ones have been posted. CA comes in three different types, the thin is very fast cure and the thick is pretty slow. Over time you will learn what types of glues you as a builder like, I have several types sitting on my bench. My old building board was made from two 6 foot long 12 inch wide boards I glued together then planed flat. I have cross reinforcements on the bottom to keep it straight and level as time marches on. I get my clamps from Harbor freight, the Dollar Stores and any place I spot them, even super markets. Tee Pins I get at the local fabric store or hobby shop. Good luck on the build, you picked a good kit and a nice plane.
