Fuelproofing the firewall?
 
Can I fuelproof it with Elmer's wood glue? No epoxy around.. jb weld okay too?

Thanks.

JB thinned down a bit with some alcohol, or other solvent.

Elmer's glue.. No, JB weld/epoxy should work, But really you do need to
thin it..... I just got some fuel proof spray paint and mainly sprayed the
bottom of the fuse with a few coats.. I drilled a drain hole just before the
bulkhead not only to get the fuel out, but so I could see any problem as
fast as possible.. I got my paint from the hobby shop, But I'm sure you
could get some at hardware/walmarts etc...

Thin CA and a small brush works well also. Just be quick about it. :)

Any CA will work, just watch the fumes!! I know some will say "CA won't work, debonder is made of nitro." Well your fuel isn't pure nitro, and it has worked for me for years.

Ahh, thanks to all of you for the replies! I'll strengthen some spots with JB Weld and fuelproof the rest with CA. Thanks again! [8D]
