Default RE: CA Glues, use and aplication

I like to build primarily with yellow wood glue because it gives you plenty of time to work and it doesn't irritate my lungs. I limit my CA use to places where I can't easily clamp something and I need an instant hold. I use thin CA to strengthen threads in wood, and for CA hinges.

I use 30 minute epoxy for structural items like firewalls, landing gear blocks, joining wing halves, and stabilizer attachment, usually all with tri-stock.

I don't use 5 minute epoxy for anything. I used to use it for repairs at the field, but I quit making repairs at the field.

I use mainly Robart hinges, and I glue them in with Pacer hinge glue.

I use canopy glue for canopies.

Good luck and enjoy your build.
