You use epoxy for building your bridges?

no. i was discussing with some other people, and that somehow led to bridge glues.

Actually, we used epoxy on boomilevers in a couple of parts, and I do think it can have a place in the structure events if used sparingly and correctly.

Most of the time though, CA is the best.

acetone works too. nail polish remover is just a bit weaker.

hey,
I was wondering what most of you guys used for glue when you build.
Most of the time, I use the balsa glue from PITSCO but lately, I've been hearing that other glue works just as well and is even lighter.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I use CA, specifically brush on Krazy glue. I haven't heard of too many others.
