Tips for using CA glues building model aircraft

EP:28 Tips and Uses for CA glue

Wow, this is so exciting. My first sponsored video by one of the most used products in our hobby. Today’s episode is sponsored by Starbond, maker of CA or Cyanoacrylate Adhesive.
I have been working on this video in my mind for several months now, because there are so many ways we use this glue and its different viscosities in our hobby. On average I would have to say that during a scratch build or build from a kit, 85 to 90% of all glue joints are CA. It’s fast setting, super strong, and light weight. Three things we all need when building model aircraft. I hope you enjoy this video, I had a lot of fun shooting it.
