FYI, titebond works on clothes pins too.

RE: Life without CA
You didn't. Please tell me you didn't.
Ah, memories. Clothespins, hobby pins, weights, clamps, even rubber bands. Assembling an entire wing, then gluing the whole thing and waiting overnight for it to dry. Remember the dope smell, too? Tissue, silk - brushing coat after coat while you got high. |
RE: Life without CA
Just one, no problem

RE: Life without CA
Wow, and here all this time I thought I was the only one that did that. I feel so much better now, Thanks Dave

When using clothes pins, run a line of popcycle stick along the outside (exterior) of the wood and that will prevent the clothes pin dents!
I'm doing somewhat the same thing... |

RE: Life without CA
You guys didn't invent that anymore than I did!
5 And the key to slower glues..is MORE tables ! |

RE: Life without CA
(Where n=number of posts in this thread) I'll be n+1 :eek:
I got the smart idea to protect the model by folding a strip of saran wrap over the edge before I put the clothespins on. (I know wax paper can contaminate resin glues) Clothespins came off easily, but I spent half a day sanding the saran wrap off of the model. (Darn capillary action) Now, I am more careful with my glue, and I have a whole bag of plastic clothespins around somewhere. (If I can find them) Dave |

RE: Life without CA
The popsicle sticks is a good idea. I am just trying to think how I could make them look like part of the plane once I glued them on along with the clothes pin. I now use wax paper to cut down on the clothes pins sticking to the wood. The wax paper does come off easier and it does sand off with the excess glue. Good Luck, once again, Dave

RE: Life without CA
Can't say I remember the "Good ol' days" (Not THAT old!), but I still don't build with CA. Other than high stress areas, I like white glue - easy to clean up, no smell, long set time, and dirt cheap. A 75 cent bottle of glue can last for an entire model.It also gives you a feeling of accomplishment if the wing can dry without the pieces falling apart, or someone bumping it making the Cessna have swept wings... (don't ask)Thanks Graeme

RE: Life without CA
Today's wax paper isn't the same as it WAS....I don't use it anymore - but use the back off Monokote (or buy a roll of their 'Plans Protector')....and I agree, CA isn't the only glue on the market :)

What is the easiest glue to sand?
|
RE: Life without CA
ORIGINAL: tailskid What is the easiest glue to sand? I've been building my Smith Miniplane with mostly Sigbond. Ilike it because it sands much easier than CA and it dries quickly. It's also fuel proof and very strong. The cost is higher, somewhere between white glue and CA. |
