Re: Elevated Bridge B/C
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.

Re: Elevated Bridge B/C
i tell that to people and they tell me, how am i supposed to get nail polish remover now?robotman09 wrote:
May i suggest Nail polish remover it works fairly well at removing glue if you really want to get rid just put a little on a paper towel/rad and rub it come off
normally i just let it be unless it was really annoying
acetone works too. nail polish remover is just a bit weaker.

Re: Elevated Bridge B/C
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.
