Hi Bill, I have a limited knowledge in this hobby, but in a lot of cases some times it helps just to have a fresh pair of eyes looking at the problem. Martin555.

Hi Martin. I agree with you last post. I have noticed that there have been a couple of posts from new members and nobody has replied with any help. I replied to one member with my distinct lack of knowledge on his request but I am sure ther …

Progress has been changed being that I have developed a sensitivity to CA glue even with the window open and exhausted. I am searching out various glue types in order to finish what has been started. Hopefully a solution is found soon. As o …

Here is what I had been using, it does not foam up. Yes, if you mist it, the glue harden faster, but with little crystals. I generally did not mist, I just let it harden on its own. There are several types of these glues available locally a …

What we get in SA is Gorilla Glue and is the polyurethane adhesive that foams. They just market it as Gorilla Glue. Funny how glues change the world over! Sika also market Gator Glue which is a direct copy of the Polyurethane Gorilla Glue.

Thank you. In the meantime, I am continuing planning, and following this site and the other websites. Of course, that leads to a lot of alternative ideas for new projects.

I used slower CA to tack the planks of my Chris Craft to the bulkheads. The further sealing will come before she is sanded, as well as when she is glassed. Unfortunately, the project has been delayed a couple of years due to giving up works …

Ian, I have used the gorilla foaming glue in the past purposefully to expand into gaps when building model aircraft, but the Gorilla I am using now is a straightforward glue, with and initial fairly short set time and a curing time of 24 ho …

It's amazing the different glues available round the world. I know only one place that keeps good old fashioned Araldite. Titebond I can't find at all. Remember using Aerolite which I can't find today. Many glues are marked waterproof but m …

I used Aerodux in the 70s for full sized boats (building and repairing) as in those days it was cheaper and easier to use than the epoxies. Very easy to use and smelled nice too with good gap filling properties. Also used Aerolite which was …

The only trouble with Gorilla (and Gator) Glues is they are polyurethane based and fill gaps. If there is no gap they foam out the joint which equals heavy job clean up. Also have handy acetone and use rubber gloves because if it dries on y …

Like you Ian I used Cascamite in the early 70's when I built a 12 foot sailing dinghy, had to get the mix right and requires a min temperature of 9/50 degrees. At that time I had a friend in the Boat building industry on the Norfolk Broads …

There's CA and CA. Whilst I try not to use CA I will admit it has its uses. Decent CA's I find are Roket and ZAP but overall I find ZAP 30 minute epoxy about the best for building. We also get a South African Product here called Pratley Eez …
