I am just figuring out the deferent types of glue that are being used. I am familiar with the 5 min epoxies and I use this when I need time to get things all set up. The gap filling glue I am using is a 5-15 sec insta-cure+ and the other is an extra thick 10-25 sec Maxi-cure. The first thing I learned is that I can clue my fingers together, I learned that right out of the box. My question is what glue to use for what application. If I am building a tail assembly, mostly balsa stock (soft wood). Should I be using thin glue that soaks into the wood creating the welding bond? And is the thicker glue mainly used to fuse wood along the exterior joint's VS the end butt joints. Then there is the spray, what are these quick drying sprays used for?</p><p class="MsoNormal"><![if !supportEmptyParas]><![endif]><o></o></p><p class="MsoNormal">Any information would be great; meanwhile I am going on the trial by error.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><![if !supportEmptyParas]><![endif]><o></o></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks</p><p class="MsoNormal"><![if !supportEmptyParas]><![endif]><o></o></p><p class="MsoNormal">TB</p>
