Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Soon will be buildingNot being the purest as many I guess I suppose you can considered I cheated, however in terms of my own self satisfaction I used West System epoxy,close fitting joints and clamps along with brads and staples shot from a pneumatic gun. I wanted to be well assured that the pins would help my clamps and joints stay tight and strong. Not that I would be critical of others using just clamps and epoxy, or rubber bands with flour and water paste, its just me and who I am.As with your construction those are decisions we all make out of comfort, reliability, experience or paranoia, same as the ones you will be making also. Its not a bad idea to ask for advice and when confusion sets in from opinions you receive, well than you can always consult Tony and see what he'swritten about the subject then choose the answer you want or like best. In the final analysis we all select the answer we like the best.Its just human nature!JohnIn a message dated 12/13/2010 9:32:40 P.M.
