Though I share some things. One thing we don't have is a Glue FAQ in like a sticky (Ha!! Sticky! Get it! :lol thread... oh well...
1) Whoever was the genius that posted about replacing the Elmers Wood Glue tip with a Glue-All or School Glue tip, THANK YOU! Great idea! (See photo)
2) Someone was lamenting the loss of Tenax 7R (IIRC) Plastic welder. I found some on eBay for $5 a bottle. I am not sure if A) that is the stuff people were raving about, B) or two if that is a good price, but I have two now. :blush:
3) I have heard on R/C podcasts that Mercury Adhesives CA is really good. I am not sure what defines 'really good', but being a good sheep, I order three 1oz bottles and some debonder from Atlanta Hobbies. I have not used it yet as I have some Great planes CA to use up first. Just baggie'd it an put in the the freezer for now.
4) Speaking of CA, I bought some tiny plastic pipets on eBay a long time ago. I use needle nose pliers to grab the tip and carefully stretch it. They get really really small/fine. Make a clean cut and they make excellent CA applicators. Of course you have to have a bottle that opens to use a pipet. When they get icky, cut it off and stretch it again. They last for several stretches.
Lets hear more tips. We have dozen of threads that are sticking (sticking... ha :rofl: yes I am easily amused) around on glue. Mine them and paste some links.
Or not...
