Well, since the job lay off, I am getting pretty stingy with my George Washington's, but I want to start gluing rib sticks together and get my ribs started.=0ASo, I went to the=0A local dealer in town which that sells T-88 here in Fresno, and I just couldn't justify to my wife spending the $21.95 for the 4 ounce sized bottles. I know there are other acceptable glues out there that have the test of time behind them, and I read about them in Tony B's book, but I am looking for what advice you all might have regard alternative glues I might try at least for a few ribs.=0A=0AI know building an airplane is a luxury, and probably not for the un-employed. BUT, building a few ribs now that I have the wood cut up is not that expensive. So, I thought I might ask ya'll about epoxy alternatives that you might have used that would be acceptable for ribs. I want epoxy in the really stessful places, and the fuse, etc,... but the rib sticks with the gussets should be OK with older, tried and proven glues.=0A=0AReading Tony's books gives me a start. I just thought I'd pick a few Piet Brains for some more advice. I saw a bucket of Plastic Resin glue there for about $9 bucks and thought I might go with it to start.... =0A=0AThoughts?Mark=0A=0Ahttp://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Pget="_blank" href="http://forums.matronics.com">http://forums.matronics==========0A=0A=0A=0A =0A=0A=0A=0A=0A ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:08:29 -0700Subject: Pietenpol-List: NX7229R is on her feet again.
