Hi, Is there a light weight fuel resistant adhesive for carbon fiber cloth to a Styrofoam wing.



Thanks, RC_Design


Ted shuffled out of his cave and grunted these great (and sometimes not so great) words of knowledge:

Isn't it interesting that we used to build complete models with nitrocellulose in a tube and thinned in a can and that was all the adhesives we had in the entire model? Now, my shop looks like a chemistry lab with all the solvents and adhesives...and I don't have a tube of Testor's or Ambroid in the shop.

Yeah Ken but it's still reassuring to know that you may still build anything with nothing but Ambroid/Testor's and if you wish some Elmer's. There are times when I'm tempted. Remember when we built 'em to fly not crash ;-)

I still have several of the 4 oz. tubes of Ambroid, and there are still things at which it is best; and it still smells great. For the best aromatic hydrocarbon smell, however, Sig-ment stands head and shoulders above the rest... your pal, Paul

Ambroid will always be my favorite for chewing from the fingers.
