Again, the main problem with most of these newer glues is that they've never been evaluated for aviation purposes. I use Titebond 3 (the nearly waterproof formulation) to glue up longbow laminations, a use that subjects the glue line to incredible compression/tension forces & have not had one come apart yet, so I'm willing to bet it's structurally strong enough for many aircraft uses, but that doesn't mean I'd use it on an aircraft without some serious testing in that application.Kip GardnerOn Nov 30, 2013, at 3:51 PM, tools wrote:>> Not trying to start something, but along the idea of testing your > own...>> Is there any reason yellow glue isn't acceptable?
