Glues
There are many different glues available today for model construction that it can be confusing to even the experienced modeler.
To simplify matters, most glues can be classified as one of four types:
1. Fast cyanoacrylate adhesives (abbreviated as C/A) such as Sig CA, Hot Stuff, Jet etc.
2. Easy to use water-based wood glues such as Sig-Bond (yellow) and Sig Super-Weld (white).
3. Super strong (but heavier) two-part epoxy glues such as Sig Kwik-Set (5 minute cure) and Sig Epoxy (3 hour cure).
4. Traditional solvent-base model cements such as Sig-Ment.
Each of these types has different characteristics and advantages. Often times, the choice of which type to use is strictly a matter
of personal preference based on your experience with a previous model. To help speed up assembly, C/A glue is recommended
for general construction. You should also have on hand some epoxy (both 5 min. and slow dry) and Sig-Bond because these
glues are called out in several places in these instructions.
Sig CA, like mose brands of cyanoacrylates, come in three viscosities- thin, medium, and thick. An accellerator spray and
debonder are also available and are described below.
Sig CA Thin - Watery consistency, thin CA should only be used when the two parts to be joined are in perfect contact
with zero gap. Capilliary action pulls this glue deep into the wood resulting in a very strong bond and it dries in just a few
seconds. Thin CA can be used to tack assemblies together, but these joints should be glued again later with medium or
thick CA.
Sig CA Medium - Our medium thickness CA is excellent for almost any step during construction. The extra thickness
allows the glue to fill small gaps, but it does dry a little slower than a thin CA. If you want only one type of C/A, use
medium thickness.
Sig CA Slow - This thickest formula is good for filling large gaps and building up strong fillets at joints requiring extra
strength. It also dries slow enough to allow you to apply it to one part and position it on another before it dries. (With the
thin and medium C/A's, the parts must be in contact and positioned correctly before glue application.) This feature is
useful when laminating large sheeted areas like a fuselage side and a fuselage doubler.
Sig Kwik-Shot Accellerator - Spraying accellerator on CA (any thickness) will cure it almost instantly. Although CA is
fast, it's sometimes nice to speed it up even more.
Debonder - This can be used to separate parts, but you'll probably use it for unsticking your fingers more than anything
