Glue Types

Good Grief ! I have not posted on this site since 2009 ! That must be some record for a living old-timer.

Anyhow, I build using mostly yellow glue. I have reached my lifetime limit on epoxy. If I come into contact with the hardener, it dissolves my skin like hydrofluoric acid within seconds ! My last exposure almost sent my with what was left of my hands to the burn unit.

I do not recommend using epoxy unless you have gloves and plenty of ventilation.

I use white glue for rocket camps. I do not have a reaction to plastic cement.
