Hi Ron,

Well, I don't really know.. This is the basic one you will find in Homebase or B&Q.
Red tube with a big "contact" on it  :wink:



Hope this help !

Or if you are coming at the Mt Leinster Glide-in, I can bring a tube...

Fred

Ron:
Ah thanks Fred.
A picture is worth a thousand words, etc, etc.

Nothing like the ones I have, but I'm sure I'll find it in Bantry this morning.

Thanks again.

Ron

Paul ELLIS:
Hi Ron and Fred  :D

Ron

It looks like it's going to be a good 'un


Fred, How do you actually apply the contact adhesive when sheeting wings?

I mean, how do you know exactly where to apply it to the sheeting, as I assume you have to apply it to both surfaces and let it go tacky?

Merci en avance  :wink:

Paul

Fred:
Hey salut Paul !  :D  :D

For the Contact glue, that is really easy !

1>Cut your sheet of balsa to size for the sheeting
2>Apply the contact glue to all the ribs, spar and so on, basically, everywhere the sheeting is going to be in contact with the wing
3>Put the sheeting immediately in position, and remove...

Et voila ! On the sheeting, you can see where the contact glue touches.. You can add a bit more glue in the area still blank.
Of course, wait for the glue to dry (around 5 mins...) and apply.. Job done !

Sorry, saw your post and mail about the Minimoa (nice work !  :clap:  :clap: ) but haven't took the time to reply  :oops:  :oops:

Paul ELLIS:
Aha, so simple!  #-o

Thanks for that Fred.

I must get some of that brown paint to paint round the edges of my ribs too.  :wink:

Paul
