I read somewhere that sanding CA is really difficult. And I got a bunch on the fusalage and was wondering if it is going to show through the covering if I cant get it sanded out. Going to try to post a pic


John

try sanding and see what your results are

You may have to fill around some of those formers anyway. Just use household plaster spackling

As mentioned, fill all your gaps with filler, I use a product called Paint and Patch, from Home Depot, and then sand the side of the fuselage with a bar sander with some 200 grit sand paper. Do not just sand the CA as you will get low spots in the balsa, as the Ca is harder than the balsa. Once you have sanded with your bar sander, you will still see the CA, however when you cover it you should not see it if you are using an opaqe color of covering. Good Luck, Dave

Don't use thin CA for stuff like that. In fact, I rarely use thin CA for anything except CA Hinges.

Medium CA won't run all over the place like that - and if it does, you're using too much!

And now you know why many of us use wood glue also.

Wood glue is for sissies

Hear that RCKen? Minn thinks you are a sissy.

He already know that

Oh, did Minn say something????

You should hear what he calls ME! (He can't say it here cause RCU is a family site)

Who?? Me??? I'm innocent!!!!!! I swear!!!!!

Ken

Stop swearing! (See what I mean?)

I think those jet guys in Florida deserve you two. Have a good trip.

I don't get along with thin CA it gives me sinus trouble for a week afterwards

I use the yellow glue. The last time I went to the store they didn't have any Titebond II. So i bought Borden's. Some of the Borden's got on the fuselage sides where I laminated them together and it was harder than the balsa.
