Default CA or Epoxy??

Hi,
I am assembling a Sig Kadet Mark II (my first plane). I just finished the right wing and used only thick and thin CA glue. Should I be using epoxy on the wing to make it stronger? When do I use epoxy vs CA?

Regards

CA is fine for the wing panel construction. But use 30 min epoxy when it comes time to glue the two wing panels together.

the ca will be fine for the wing panels but use 30 min epoxy to join the wing halves and also when attatching the tail feathers to the fusealage and anywhere you may want extra strength good luck with your plane

Also, use epoxy for, firewall, main gear reinforcing and attatching tail assembly together.
Sig kits Ive built usually indicate in the instruction book the locations where epoxy is neccessary.
