Geoff S Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I was flying my Riot today and it started to behave rather less well than it does normally and I thought I was having a bad finger day. It turns out that the rear part of the fuselage had separated at the glue joint and part of it had broken as a result. It looks easy to repair but I really need some slow acting glue so that I can position it accurately. I know normal cyano works and I have used hot glue but I don't want the cyano to grab too soon and hot glue has a tendency to cool too rapidly. I've heard epoxy doesn't work very well on EPO but slow epoxy would be ideal if it makes a good, reliable joint. Ideas gratefully received.

Henri Squier Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Polyurethane (D4 - bostik) works very well (for me). dries in 3 hours, and swallows when it dries (the more there is humidity the more it swallows) : can be a good thing for reinforcement or when there is not a perfect tight fit.
