Dear List, I want to thank all of you that responded to my 30 minute epoxy question. The information you gave was just what I needed. Just one more little aside. Talking to the folks in the hobby shop revealed some interesting opinions. They said that model builders coming to their store preferred epoxy over CA. I asked why. They said that CA glue dissipates out of the wood glued joints, eventually nullifying the bond. Epoxy remains permanently. Model airplane builders say that they find CA joints begin coming apart after about 1 and 1/2 years but epoxy joints never break at the joint again. They say they use CA glue for those on the field emergency repairs but prefer epoxy during building times. Have any of you that use CA glue for repairs noticed these repairs coming apart at a later date?
