Hi, New Zealand calling..
I've built half a dozen foamboard models and have questions , mainly about the glue-sticks used by Flite Test.
My builds have been successful but it has often been touch and go getting parts - especially long parts like wings - folded and glued before the glue has hardened up at the start of the glue run. I notice in FT's excellent videos that Josh B makes some very long runs at quite a moderate pace and seems to have no trouble getting things folded - and the excess glue wiped off, while the glue is still in 'liquid' state.
So if there is a slow-set type of glue stick available can anyone advise the name, and where it is available?
And is there any recommendation re the glue gun to buy - good for those long runs? I use a Bosch glue gun and am reasonably happy with it, but I'd just like to know what FT uses.
Thanks,
Andrew W.
