 Posted: Wed Apr 25, 2012 4:27 am Post subject: Alternative glue for the elevators foam ribs |
 |
|
I am building the elevators, and as you know, one has to glue the trailing edge foam ribs to the elevator skins interior.
Van’s plans want you to use that ##$&&%% tank sealant, which I really hate to use (probably one of the reasons I always go with the QB kit … J).
What are the alternative glues that can be used is this case, which obviously don’t melt the foam and don’t corrode the aluminium skins?

Just stick to the Proseal, it's tried and proven and not all that bad compared with itchy fibreglass. Wait until you get to the cabin top & doors.
Warm regards

If you don't want to deal with the pint or quart containers, Van's sells
the 1/2 oz film cannister size which is all you need for the trailing
edge. Only wish they would offer it in B-2 instead of B-1/2, as the 30
min pot life gets shortened by 50% for each ten degrees over 75, a
rather common condition here in Aridzona.

I just did the elevator trailing edges, ribs, and trim tab ribs last night.
I used the "mix in the tube" 3.5oz tank sealant from Vans, and it was
just enough for all those parts. (Part number MC-236-B1/2) You can
stick the tube in a caulk gun and just shoot it onto the part and
spread it out. It took me about 30 minutes for the entire process.
Simple, and no measuring needed.
