In Response To: Re: What Glue did you use? (Bill Hamm)

I used to use AEROLITE 306 and also CASCAMITE ONE SHOT... Both powders that are mixed with water before use. Both are fairly inexpensive, especially if baught in largish containers. The aerolite has an indefinite shelf life too.

The aerolite is fantastically strong and waterproof, but gets very hard and if used for gap filling is almost too hard. The main benefit of the aerolite is that it requires an acidic liquid hardener to go off, so it is good for situations where long open time is required. Get all the glue spread perfectly at leisure, then apply the liquid to the mating section with a brush, (very quick) and clamp at leisure. Great for laminating, etc.

The CASCAMITE I used to get was a light brown colour and great for hiding mistakes. These days it seems to be transparant. It does not require hardener. A handy glue for general boatbuilding. It also sets very hard.

The aerolite is completely water insoluable, and the CASCAMITE is a close second, and both are good gap filling glues too, but for ease of use the TITEBOND is hard to beat.
