Default Glue help!!!

All,

I'm working on my 4*60 kit and reached the step on the right wing where you pull the wing off the board to sheet the bottom side.

The instructions say to check all the joints and coat the outside of the joints with thick or medium CA.

HOWEVER, I used Titebond wood glue for alot of the wing and a friend of mine said that wood glue and CA will leech into each other when they come in contact and corrupt each other's bonding.

What should I do?

The only thing that I use CA for is hinges! If you are using alaphetic resin glue (titebond) there is no need to use gap filling CA.

After several years of using CA I became allergic to it, if I use CA hinges I open both doors in work shop start up a large fan and leave the area as soon as I have attached the control surface, returning only after several minutes so that the CA has fully cured and even then get runny eyes and nose.

If your joints a good (no gaps) TiteBond will have more strength than CA. When I build I work on several pieces at the same time and complete the model in only a little more time than when I used CA, however this is not an option if you are limited to space.

Ditto, the instructions are just telling you to reinforce the joints in case there are any bad ones. If you used titebond, you can reinforce with the same. If you're sure that you made good joints to begin with , don't even bother.
