I've been using yellow glues and the double glue method on my LPR birds since the Dead Sea was only sick. On tubes with a glassine covering, I remove a strip of the glassine from the alignment line on thetube. The resultant double glue joint is surprisingly strong.
With the white "craft" tubes (if they have a proper name, I don't know it), there is no glassine to remove. In that case I put pin holes in the alignment line to enhance adhesion.
Now, here is my question:
Do people do the traditional double glue process with pin holes, allowing the saturated pin holes to dry completely before doing the second glue application? Or do you do only one glue application on the alignment line and attach the fin before allowing the pin holes to dry?
I've heard of both ways.
Thanks.
