As you can see on this Quest Delta Clipper, I laid a heavy bead of Aleene's around the inside bottom rim of the aeroshroud, but it didn't pucker or distort the outside surface.


Really good tip (from one of the best builders around).

I would use a very thin layer of contact cement on both pieces.
Let it dry COMPLETELY before joining. If you think it is dry, give it more time anyway...double what the bottle/can says.
Have done it before and it works really well without any wrinkles.

Your Delta clipper looks good. Will have to try it. I am guessing you can get it at Hobby Lobby?

Aleene's Tacky glue can be found at most hobby and craft stores.

The Quest Delta Clipper is long out of production, but there may still be a few hanging around in hobby shops.
