New question on glues
 

There was just a post on glues which i read.

All those glues dry to a hard finish.

Is there any glues that any knows of that dry to a semi hard finish for flexibilty?( kind of like silicone but stronger)

RC 56 Or any canopy glue
And some heat gun glue's

How strong is this glue?

Will it glue pretty well anything together?

You can build with it and hot glue is what they use on ARF's. Might help if I new what you need it for.Larry

I build all kinds of stuff from foamies to balsa ( when i mean build i really mean repair)

I find epoxy too brittle specially if you want to build something up.

I use foam safe thick ca glue and that seems to work the best on foam to foam. The glue gun just melts it.

I use 5 min epoxy on wood to wood or wood to anything.

Athough epoxy on smooth plastic doesn't seem to hold up.

I do crash once in a while so i thought maybe i should use something with a little flexibility in it.

You might try Gorilla glue . I think there is a thread on its use and a new glue like it ;)

watch out with that glue, if you don't clamp your parts. it grows to about 1/3 it's original size. so if you don't clamp your work, as it dries it'll through your work off

I wonder how is it compare to gorilla glue, I wanted to use it in a flexible cable pushrod.

Aileens Tacky Glue (gold bottle at craft stores). It is a PVA glue (Vinyl based white glue) and stays flexible. Much like Type 56 canopy glue but cheaper.

If you want a more flexible glue go to a boating supply store and get some of the adhesives they use for deck hardware.

Shoe Goo is a great flexible glue, but it will eat foam.

Try Weldbond, I use it for everything except firewalls.

Thanks for all the info.

It's looks like it will be a trial and error venture to find the perfect glue

May i should mix two brands together and see what happens......???[sm=72_72.gif]
