I bought Everglue extra strong specifically made for Z-foam. My Apprentice broke the wing and tail. I'm lucky it's a clean cut and I'm using 4 bamboo sticks and ordered 3d tape for the ailerons. I prepared everything and placed a little drop of glue on the inside but I'm a little nervous about gluing the plane.
Nervous it won't hold? Nervous it will damage it? I am not sure what type of glue Everglue is, but I would definitely test it on a hidden piece of foam on your plane first. The wrong CA will eat the foam. So try a drop on a space of foam inside a cavity and see what happens.
My Beacon Foam Tac Adhesive has gotten pretty thick from just sitting around like most glues do. Is there anything I can use to dilute it down so that it will at least pour out a little better? Thanks.
I have a very small foam rc plane that probably weighs only an ounce or two and it has a couple tears from a crash, and I was wondering if any foam friendly glue would weigh it down and make it fly worse, or if it won’t make a difference. Thanks
@@OLDx666 Hard to say, but epoxy is epoxy. Its just a chemical reaction, so don't really see how one brand can really differentiate from another. I've used many brands epoxies and can't tell the difference. But yes, a longer curing epoxy is stronger than a shorter cure time epoxy. Since it takes more time to cure, it is able to soak and penetrate the wood more to create a tighter bond. Like I would use 30 min epoxy on a balsa kit for the structural connections and a shorter cure for the little peripheral pieces like pilot figure, guns, antennae's etc
I like the quick tips idea simple knowledgeable fun and eclectic...
🥃 cheers 🍻
Awesome James! Can’t be easier and clearer 🤙🏻 thanks 😊

Good info especially for us beginners. 👍
Glad it was helpful!

Good video

A redo i guess. Thanks for stocking them!
Yeah, misspelled Cyanoacrylate. Easier to just re-upload
All basic, but great stuff for the beginner. I never figured out why they put blue threadlocker in a red bottle.
hahaha. Like how we drive on the parkway and park on the driveway
What can I use to bond 2 pieces of plastic so I won't ever come off
the most important vido of all XD
Thank you for sharing ! What kind of foam is in foamboard ? Depron ?
believe so. It is the most fragile type of foam inside the covering
It was good to hear everything to verify my beliefs
I’ve got a Conscendo Evolution and the front section broke off after a cartwheel...which glue choice would be best to use?
for EPO foam, i'd use foam safe CA
Nice video
What do you use to glue the jet canopies for foam and fiber glass? thanks
For a fiberglass canopy I'd use canopy glue, but for a plastic canopy on a foamie I use foam tac. Never use CA as it will fog up the plastic
What epoxy is stronger?
The longer the cure time, the stronger the epoxy.
@@MotionRC is this statement always true?
@@MotionRC what if there are 2 different brands (very different)

You mean I can't just hot glue everything together and expect the same results?
hahaha. That works sometimes too!
All of my glue dries up. Every... Frikin.... Time....
