Ugh. Just when I think I will get alot of progress done I get called into work! Again! 4 saturdays in a row! 

 

Heres what I got done before he called me. I laid it out as square as possible. Then touched a drop of thin CA to each joint.

take a sowing needle.  Cut the eye in half so you end up with a u-shape.

use this to pick up some Iliquid) superglue (caterpillar capilliary action).

carefully line up both pieces and let the caterpillar do its work from above.  use little glue, then quickly spray with activator = instant bonding.

 

edit:  perhaps place first on surface that does not glue well (teflon sheet, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1pcs-10mm-x-10m-PTFE-Teflon-Adhesive-Tape-Nonstick-Sealing-Machine-Tape/302526316786?epid=546897656&hash=item466ff940f2:g:rSMAAOSwO7haCVlp, perhaps)

So with out that tape it will just get glued to the table huh

 

I think the danger does exist.  Mind you, I never tried the tape in combination with superglue, but that sort of stuff is used in many industries....

Not if you use LH's suggestion about the Teflon sheet - there's not much that will stick to Teflon :). Use the end of a toothpick to soak up any excess before the CA sets.

 

BTW - I use the half-eyed needle trick almost exclusively for applying CA. When the needle eventually gets clogged I drop it inot a jar of Acetone for a couple of minutes to clean it.

I use a tile glossy. CA doesn't stick to the glaze.

Dan a lighter cleans is off rather nicely too and a lot quicker

CDW  I Asked myself the same question so I checked. Rigging line and a flag attaches to it. Here is a picture.

I continue with the mast. First I finish up the piece I've been working on.

now I lay out the 2 pieces together and adjust them till it's perfect. Then without dislodging it I just touch a drop of thin glue to the joints.

Any Ideas on how the hell I'm suposed to glue that donut shaped piece to the end of the other piece?? The only way I can think of is just to not do it! 

 

 

Can you file a "V" into the tip of the yard? Otherwise use a tiny spot of PVA glue to temporarily stick it on, wait until it dries, and then hit it with CA.

 

If all else fails leave it off. Just tie the rigging line around the yard.

It's a gluey mess Cog! trust me, Glue everywhere!

 Danny I actually slid the yard into the hole of the donuts shaped piece and glued it like that.  I figure it's better than nothing and will provide somthing for me to wrap rigging EZ line around. but there's no way I'm good enough to do it like the directions call for.
