The glue thread

[David Ashby - Moderator]

We've been sent some sample tubes of glue from a German manufacturer, too many in fact so I wondered if forum users would like some? We've 10 tubes to give away and the only 'catch' is I wondered if those we send the glue too can just leave a post here to say what they think of it?

This isn't a clever piece a marketing and there's no catch but we may mention the glue in RCM&E new products at some point and as it's a type that's new to us, having the conviction of readers who've used the stuff, means it's easier to recommend if we do.

So what is it? Well it's a component polyurethane adhesive that reacts with the water content of the materials, air humidity or additionally applied water. It is designed to work with balsa, woods, depron, foams, plastics extruded polypropylene, brass, aluminium, paper card cork etc..

That's it really, the green tube glue sets in 10 mins and the orange tube stuff in 20 minutes. Leave a post below if you'd like some and we'll choose 10 names to receive some. Please enable your 'private messaging' function for communication, thanks.

Yes please, I am just going out to look for a new model in my LMS.

[260 Flyer]

As a big fan of Gorilla Glue I would be interested to see how this stuff compares.

Not sure about the name though, it sounds more like something you would buy from the chemist!

[Andy Freeman]

I will certainly put it to the test in my build blog....

[Myron Beaumont]

Would love to try it as modern balsa cement (Italian actually) just isn't  what it used to be.Remember O-MY .joyplane Britfix etc ?

[Pat (rActive) Harbord]

I'll test some for you, I'm starting a B&Q blue foam under lay build very soon

I'll do 2 at the same time using a combination of the two products

I'm in the middle of building a Chipmunk and would be more than happy to try it out.

[Mowerman]

I'd like to give it a try

[Bob Cotsford]

I'm always up for trying something new, either for repairs or the Flair Sunrise currently on the backburner.

[David Ashby - Moderator]

OK, chaps that's enough volunteers - we'll draw the line there. I'll PM you for your addresses and get the glue out to you all this week, probably tomorrow in fact. No hurry or timescale for feedback, as and when....is fine. Perhaps leave the feedback below if you don't mind, Many thanks.

Planecrazy, Richard, mowerman, can you just enable your private messages and PM me your address please, thanks...

David.

With the amount of repairs I have to make I can't ever have too much glue.
