Attaboy, Steve! I assume you mean Weldwood Resorcinol, not their contact cement?I have used it throughout on my Piet, except the areas where I couldn't geta good tight joint, such as some of the bracing on the wings. It is the strongestglue around, when properly used. Just be sure you get plently of clampingpressure. AC 4313 details how close nails should be spaced to get a properbond. Also be aware that it Resorcinol requires a shop temp of at least 70F to bond properly. I think it looks nice too, particularly on laminated partslike wingtip bows and centersection cutouts. I like to see that thin brownline between laminations. You'll notice that Sensenich propellors have that distinctline between each lamination. They've been building props with that gluefor over 50 years, so it must be pretty good. Jack> -----Original Message-----

That the powder stuff? Mix with water, If so my Uncle Roy used it to gluehis Fishing Tackle boxes with, marine ply, I still have 5 boxes that areover 40 yrs old and I have had one break when it dropped off the shelf with50 lbs of tools in it, It broke the wood and not the glue. We used to mixit up and put it in a brass oil can with a trigger, use trigger to push itout, But ya better clean the thing out good before it sets up or the OilCanis wasted, I worked for him off and on when I was in school.
