its usually used more in flight events
it's not about the medals; go out there and have fun. make progress, learn a few things and have one heck of a time; that's all that matters.

Thanks!

It's really thin and gets absorbed into the wood so all you need is one drop for a joint and it dries almost instantly. Make sure to wear goggles while using this stuff though.

wait you guys use goggles when using ca? like ik youre supposed to but i feel like most ppl dont
At the scioly camp that i teach at over the summer, on two different occasions did dumb idiots get glue in their eye or eyelids, after the obligatory long as heck safety lessons... you never know what happens I guess

Last year someone managed to glue the entire sleeve of his new winter coat to the table, but I've never known anyone manage to glue their eyes. Everyone glues their fingers together at some point, and everyone manages to glue themself to their build.

CA does fume when it cures, but the quantities that you use in any of the balsa events are so small that googles might be overkill.

One time my boomi friends walked over and quickly dropped some glue on my palm and then sprayed it with accelerator... It was a lot of glue too.

If you're building on foam board, I'd recommend covering it with packing tape or something.

Did you get massively burned? That sounds ridiculously painful, the closest I've been to this was getting welts from accidentally getting hot glue on my lips and chin
