Hello everone - I've got a newbie question.
I've just gotten into RC scale boating, and need some help with glue selections. I recently purchased a Dumas Dauntless Kit, for those of you who are not farmiliar, it a crusing yaght, all wooden 49".
I'm just getting started, gather my supplies, etc, and am not sure if I should use epoxy glue, or CA glue to assemble the hull pieces. The instructions ssays to use epoxy, but I tried a few sample peices and the epoxy didnt seem to work that well. I used the 5 min. stuff from lowes, and the instructions say its wooden friendly. Anyway the peices are 1/8 inch plywood, and have to be joined together on the seem. As you can imagine joing to 1/8 peices of plywood is not to easy.
So, should I use epoxy, or CA ?
Do I have the right epoxy?
Any recommendation on the best method of joing plywood peices?
As mentioned above I tred a few sample peices, and used clamps with paper between the clamps, and there was some paper resudue left over. This of course was going to have to be sanded, not a big deal, just a pain in the butt...
Thanks in advance....
