Dynaflite DYFA3040 - Manual (Page 6)

the parts to be glued with accelerator, join
them, then add the CA. This way the CA is
guaranteed to cure immediately. This
prepriming is especially handy when you use
thin CA because it will cure before all of the
glue soaks into the wood away from the joint.
We do not recommend you build your entire
model with this method and use accelerator
only when necessary. Often, overspray from
accelerator used hours or even days earlier on
nearby glue joints will cause the CA you use on
the next step to cure prematurely and
unexpectedly - so be careful!
Throughout the assembly of this model, THIN
CA should be used unless the step calls for
another type of adhesive.
Aliphatic Resin: Resin glues require that parts
be pinned or clamped together while the glue
dries; typically 15 - 30 minutes. Resin glues are
very strong and work well with balsa and
plywoods.
Epoxy: Epoxy glues are the strongest but
require the most time to cure. Six-minute epoxy
cures the fastest; it sets within six minutes but
is not fully cured for one hour or more. Thirty-
minute epoxy is the strongest as it allows the
epoxy to soak into the wood thoroughly. While
itsets within 30 minutes, it is not fully cured for
two or more hours.
