OcCre Bounty Launch – frames perpendicular to false keel & glue?

[Highlander]

Just starting my first build which is the OcCre Bounty Launch.

The instructions state: ‘It is important to make sure that the frames are set perpendicular to false keel’. What would be the best method of achieving this?

 

I have the following glues: Speed Bond, Titebond 3, Decorator. Which one would you recommend using?

Thank you & take care.

Out of the 3 you mention I would use the Titebond III. I use Original Titebond for most of the gluing I do. Its holds well and gives you time to make some adjustments before it sets. The Titebond III is similar except It’s water resistant. That means that if one of your frames or anything you glue with it is misaligned, it’s going to be hard to take apart to fix. So make sure everything is square and where it needs to be.

A common tool for squaring bulkheads to false keel are small leggo blocks.  Clamp them in place till the glue sets.

 

 

Here is an example from another members build.  Your model might require a different arrangement, but the principle would be the same.

Lego – ingenious idea. Would never have thought of that.

I do have Lego blocks for when our grandchildren come to stay. They won’t miss a few… 

 

Perhaps I should buy some original Titebond. Don’t like the idea of increased difficulty in removing misaligned parts should it not be square. And that is where I’m not too confident – getting the parts, ‘square’. Will certainly try the Lego idea with a dry fit.

Take car.
