Well DJ I have a Sea Hornet built in the 50s' using cascomite and is still strong -so there! Seriously though Daddy found
that the old brown Fish glue CROID didn't work (come on wrinkleys get the memory cells working) and had to rebuild
our ADAMCRAFT Seaplane tender (think again) due to it rekitting itself, -water soluble glue don't work!!!!!
Another tip with casco is to mix a small quantity of METHS in the mix, no, I didn't miss my gob when I was drinking it,
it breaks the air bubbles down, another source of weakening the joint, that one given by an ex RAF airframe mech.
probably didn't know what he was talking about, I think he worked on wooden airframes? Another one for the resin
brigade is that on toy glider fuselages, instead of using glass matt over balsa i have used NYLON, in the event of a
conflagration with Firma terra - quite often - not only did it keep all the bits together, but it didn't split. It takes a
bit longer to fiddle with putting on but I found it worth it.
