Jack,I'm using West Systems and have no problems with it.It was reccommended to me by one of our "Technical Counsellors" who has overseen many projects and has just completed a Corby Starlett. In the Sport Aircraft Association of Australia he is considered to be somewhat of a "woodwork guru" and knows what he's talking about. I've seen all his test pieces since he started his project 8 or so years ago and all passed with flying colors.Mike GreenRomseyAUSTRALIA.----- Original Message -----

Folks:FWIW. I have used polyurethane glues on marine applications where admittedly ithas been exposed to harshest of conditions. I have found that it can be lessthan consistent in its performance. I have found that it does break down particularlyif gluing dissimilar woods due to their different expansion rates. I havealso found that the natural oils in Doug Fir, Cherry and Cedar tend to conflictwith proper adhesion. It does work better if you moisten the surfaces tobe glued with some water previous to applying the glue as you get better penetrationand quicker drying. That said and given the cost and amount of adhesiveto be used I figure dollar for dollar go with the proven T-88.just my 2 pennies worth.Kind regards:Michael Silviusin Scarborough, Maine ----- Original Message -----
