Blown03SVT Posted March 11, 2013 When I was a kid building balsa planes plain old Elmers white glue worked really good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sixties Sam Posted March 11, 2013 I use CA glue for balsa on my R/C planes. It works very well. It's quick and permanent. Just about any brand you find at the hobby shops works. Sam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harry P. Posted March 11, 2013 White glue (Elmer's) and CA (superglue) both work just fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swamp Dog Posted March 11, 2013 Elmers (yellow) wood glue..u can get at lumber yard or hardware store.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kit Basher Posted March 13, 2013 I like a medium CA, Hold the pieces together, apply a drop or a bead, it bonds instantly. For laminating (gluing two sheets together face to face), any yellow wood glue, but it must be clamped and allowed to dry. For laminating curved forms, 30 minute epoxy.

walt francis Posted March 13, 2013 Well like everyone has said ..Elmers or carpenters glue work the best and you can thin it down with water and use it like a sanding sealer too and at all joints as a filler bead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_G Posted March 13, 2013 Thickened CA works well. Use baking soda to fill any gaps first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
