sweetwillie | 30-Apr-08 11:10 | Well, it's done. Thanks for the engouragement, guys. |
sweetwillie | 30-Apr-08 11:14 | I found out that CA fumes when heated are very toxic. I used CA to speed up the curing of the Elmer's glue and it's very toxic when cutting it away with a Dremel. Thank God for Dremel Power tools! That job took about 15 mins. Otherwise it would've taken hours. I also, had to cut the horiz stab out, I had it about an inch too far forward. Again, Thanks for the encouragement. Stay tuned. |
Abby Marie | 30-Apr-08 14:30 | There you go Willie. We all know that you can make a beautiful job of it. |
John M Oshust | 30-Apr-08 14:57 | Great...now please listen. Make a "jig" from something. Styrofoam or cardbpaord. Pin the fuse vertical. Attach the wings dry. I would pin them together. When the jig is set....with pins, whatever, put the whole assembly together with glue. In your case, something slow acting...Elmer's or epoxy. Get the alignment perfect, then lock the assembly down. Pins a rubber bands work for me. Work in the garden, have a few cans of suds, and wait for it to dry. |
John M Oshust | 30-Apr-08 15:02 | Pin....cut a wire coat hanger into pieces that you can stick in both wings, going thru the fuse. I prefer wood but use what you have. |
SteveM | 30-Apr-08 15:16 | If you leave to work in the garden, come back from time to time to visually verify proper alignment. I can't tell you how many times I've been bitten by slow drying glues with parts held in a jig that apparently wasn't good enough. I'd set it all up then come back hours later to find it dried and not where I left it.
Sometimes I'll use a slow drying glue for the joint except for a few small areas where I wick in CA to help hold proper alignment while the slow drying glue cures. |
jgood | 30-Apr-08 18:56 | I love reading all your conversations! I learn tons from this! Keep on with this Willie, it's going to look great in the end. |
