Hi Guys,
I have a quick question:
I am gluing in plastic wheel wells for the retract area for the wheels. I marked off the perimeter of the plastic wheel well and I ran a pin thru the covering and balsa every 1/32”nd of an inch so the glue has something to bite into. Also I sanded the under lip of the plastic wheel well.
What glue would you guys recommend using:
1. Slow CA glue
2. Thin CA glue or
3. Epoxy glue 30 mins.
Thanks
Ed

Hi Guys,
Great Idea. I did not think of that as a choice, but I agree and really like that idea of using QC-56. Also I have is some hard to find Pacer Hinge Glue. This is used for Hinges and works well even on the large hinges with cotter pins, and easy clean up and strong. Like the old stand by Titebond Glue, but better and designed for plastic.
Thanks
