I was working in the basement and decided to make a couple of videos. I hope you find them useful. Here's one:

Review of CA glues from Home Depot for our uses:

Thank you for sharing Steve. I am running into the same problem with trips to the hobby shop. Look forward to trying that glue out now! Thanks!

Steve-

It's about time for me to replenish my own mostly wasted supply too. How do present Home Depot prices compare to the hobby shop prices in your area?

Thanks.

Come on Steve....you'll never be Windy....you gave us valuable information, with logic included, and facts, in about 15 minutes....Winfred would have taken three tapes....
Plus, you had no bird pics.....


Good Stuff!

Steve,
If you want to be a Windy wannabe, you gotta get with the "witness protection" jokes. You got to get up to speed on the Mafia in New Jersey jokes. Of course, interjecting about having a sharp #11 blade at all times is critical. Have you been practicing spraying stunt ships in freezing cold East Coast weather? 

What about shimming your building table with playing cards?  For full authenticity, try to get Rich Giacobone to visit you while your taping.

So, where's the part where we watch you sand for 15 minutes?

       Here's one I'm never without. I get it at Walmart. It's about $2.35 for .18oz.
It's consistency is between thin and medium and is of a very good quality. It will wick but not as good as thin. The brush applicator gives you obtions but isn't practical most of the time so the .18 oz lasts. It's there when you need it. Especially good for laminating blocks of balsa. The brush never clogs but the purple doesn't dissipate completely as advertised.

Nobody can replace Windy.  He is one character when you get him away from the competiton site.   Like stated he never runs out of stories.   Especially the one about the water balloons at the old roach motel in Muncie.

Hello Steve,
I seem to have problems with the sound on your video! Can you tell me what CA you have recommended and I can get my friend in the US to bring me back a bottle of the cheap good stuff!

Thanks!

Andrew.

Krazy Glue really messed up by using purple dye...if it had been AMBER, then I would be "down with that"! Might have to try it anyway.

I'm hoping that Mr. Yampolsky will do a video on skinning foam wings using Gorilla Glue. If he can keep it under 15 minutes, I MIGHT be able to get through the video without falling asleep!  :-[ Steve
