Using Ambroid
 

How do you slow down the glue coming out of the nozzle / tube end when you are trying to use it? You have to be really careful or it floods the area you are working on. I like to use this on skins as it is sandable and still dries fairly quickly, much faster than white glue or resin glue.

Testors glue tips work great...those little plastic doodads that go on the nozzle.

Like the CA tips?

I have always found that with a new tube it poors out so you dont have to squeeze, but once some is gone you have to force it out with a gentile squeeze. I dont know if there is some suction that is into play or it thickens up a bit. Some squeeze a small bit out on a plate and use a scrap stick to put it on the joint.

I've used glue syringes with it before too... just clean 'em out real well after you're done, and re-use them. Finally... Somebody who knows the Value of Ambroid!

I didn't even know Ambroid was still available. Now that does bring back some memories. I need to get some, to smear it on my fingers, so I can chew it off.:D CA just ain't the same.:eek:

I am of the opinion that modern Ambroid is thinner and has a stronger odor than it did 60 years ago. :eek:

Little known fact: your nose grows bigger with age.

Testors glue tips are the little plastic doodads they sell for their tubes of wood and plastic cement. They fit Ambroid tubes perfectly (they'll also fit a bottle of RC56 canopy glue well enough to do the job).

Great, I have been applying it and using my finger to spread it out the way I want it. I like using CA, but for certain things, resin glue works for me, and I find Ambroid works pretty well, also. I just needed to slow it down some. It seems a little thin, but will thicken and tack up well if you let it set up for about a few minutes, then lightly add a little fresh to the area. Thank you all. I am working on a Top Flite 60 P47.

Hey, you oldsters. I have fond memories of using Ambroid glue. Yep, used to watch the A/C go out of control as some tail feather part fell off in flight. The Ambroid was still stuck to each part though. Can't do that sort of flying today.
