Ulises Victoria Posted March 14, 2014 #1 Posted March 14, 2014 Has anyone here used this glue? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001RUEJ36/ref=pe_429380_113694760_em_1p_2_ti Looks like it comes in three thicknesses, but I can't see what type (CA, PVA, etc) of glue it is. Is it as good as they advertise it? edmay 1 There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT. Current Project Build Log: Soleil Royal in 1/72. Kit by Artesania Latina.

Keith_W Posted March 14, 2014 #2 Posted March 14, 2014 That one is a cyanoacrylate. Go to this page: http://www.titebond.com.au/products/index.htm It is near the bottom. Download one of the PDF's and it will tell you it is a CA glue. I haven't used it, but I do use the Titebond PVA glue. It is very fast setting, about 5 minutes of clamp time required with full strength reached in 12-24 hours. The downside is that it dries into a yellowish residue. It can be scraped off, but it is far better to wipe it off when it is still wet. Because it sets so fast, I also keep some normal PVA glue at home when I need more time to adjust things after clamping. edmay 1 Regards, Keith 2007 (completed): HMS Bounty - Artesania Latina 2013 (completed): Viking Ship Drakkar - Amati 2014 (completed): HMS Bounty Launch - Model Shipways Current: HMS Royal William - Euromodel
Jay 1 Posted March 15, 2014 #3 Posted March 15, 2014 Yep, agree with Keith and Brian--I use Titebond PVA and have been happy with it and use regular PVA when I want more time to adjust parts or where I care how a visible seam looks (like Keith said, Titebond dries yellow). Only rarely do I use CA glues. Cheers, Jay WackoWolf 1 Current Build: Ariel
Ulises Victoria Posted March 16, 2014 Author #4 Posted March 16, 2014 Thank you for your answers. I also use CA very rarely, so I don't actually care for this product. I prefer Titebond wood PVA glue to glue wood to wood. Lately I have been using Gorilla wood glue (PVA) with excellent results. There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT.
