I have used that method before and it will give you satisfactory results. What I use now for my prefered method is super-glue. I even use it for fillets, (get the gap filling in the purple or red bottles) I use the thin regular type for balsa filler. It goes on real easy and dries quick. It is easily sandable, (much more so than white glue and water) and it makes the wood harder so that, to me it does not break as easy. (When I made my altimeter bay for my raven, I made it out of balsa and then coated it in CA. It really got tough and I could even drill and tap holes in it.) It also saves lots of time. You really do not use that much, and you do not need a brush or need to clean the brush either. The only negative points to me are that the vapors coming off really iritate my eyes and nose, so I have a fan blowing on me or I do it outside in the breeze. The other negative is that if I get sloppy and do not put nitrile gloves on, I can find myself being part of the rocket until I use UnCure or I get a scalpel and cut my fingers loose. Try it and post your thoughts and comments, please.

thanks for the info. I will give it a try. I didn't know that superglue comes as a "gap filler". I will keep you posted.

thanks,

I do not know where you are located; I am in Wellington but work near the mall, so I go to the Hobby Town in Fort Collins and they have the whole line of productsof superglues. I wanted to glue some aluminum together and was looking at a bottle of superglue. It showed on the bottle that it was a product of Bob Smith Industries, so I went to the website and read about the different hobby products, especially the CA and epoxies. I learned a lot. I learned the thick stuff will glue aluminum and there is a gap filler that I have been using for fillets, plugging holes, and divets. Works good. Check it out, then you can know what to go looking for. (www.bsi-inc.com).

I live in Longmont within walking distance to Hobby Town. I looked at the bob smith website. That gives me plenty of ideas. I think that I will head over tomorrow and take a closer look.
