The information presented is for the most part what the author has provided. I know that I did catch some errors on various books that I proofed, and when the author was questioned, if he indicated that it was correct, we pretty much had to go with it. If the captions for the provided pictures indicate that a Ralph Nader was the pilot of record for a Fokker Dr.1, we would would question it and indicate that it would be impossible. If the author did not want to change the caption, the picture was usually left out. If the caption indicated that Kurt Wulf flew the same airplane, and the author indicated it was fact, it would not be changed. Not trying to justify Sq/Sig, but some times the author is the root of the error and not the publisher.

As usual I remembered the brand of white-glue wrongly, the one I like is called Casco Universal. I'm not sure if it's available internationally. I think the important thing is to find a brand you like (that doesn't dry and fall off) and stick(!) to it. /Neil -----Original Message----- From: Ray Boorman [mailto:Ray_Boorman@telus.net] Sent: den 28 november 2000 18:00 To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: RE: Overcoming CA Surface Tension on Small Parts Another type of glue that can work well for rigging is any of the Gel type CA's. I really do mean Gel not gap filling. You pull the peice of rigging tight and note where it will disapear into the hole. Then you let up on the rigging and use a toothpick or tip of a needle to put a tiny drop of the Gel onto the the spot of rigging that would disapear into the hole. Then you pull again. It works much better than liquid CA since you can see exactly where the CA is and know its not going to disipate. If you screw up you just wipe the rigging off with a needle. Gel also make for wonderfull Turnbuckles in 1/72 I rigged the DV in under an hour last night, that is almost olympic speed for me, which shows how easy it is to get it right using Gel. BTW I use Poly Stick Bac as a white glue replcment now. Its a bit stronger and just as flexible. Works great for struts.

Neil: Have you tried using "Odourless" super-glue. I have used it for clear parts where the clear part performs a structural role; e.g. the RWD-5bis. Of course, if you're ultra-sensitive, it'll still be no good for you because there is probably a little vapour. Perhaps we need to hear from our resident "Chemist" - Mark?

Whether odorless CA would give any relief depends on a couple of things. First, is the allergy a respiratory response or a skin response? If it is respiratory, it may be more of a matter of the CA fumes causing an irritation that makes other allergens more potent. The mechanisms of 'chemical sensitivity allergies' are more controversial than bio-agent allergies like hayfever or dust mites. Current thinking is that most of the true responses to simple chemicals like perfumes and cleaning agents in the respiratory case is a matter of the irritation factor. No matter what the mechanism, though, odorless CA would help just because reducing the amount of chemical vapor will reduce the chance of a response. If it is a skin-contact allergy, the odorless CA would probably not stop the allergy unless it wasn't due to the cyanoacrylate itself, but only to another agent in the formulation that was present in one brand or type but not another. Again, it would be necessary to check on whether it is a true allergy (where there is reaction remote from the immediate point of contact -- such as a drop on the fingertip causing hives on the back) or a local irritation (nasty and infuriating as that may be). Local irritation can be reduced by using hand creams or barrier creams to reduce the chance of the contact getting through the skin's natural defences, the allergic response is more of a bugger and needs an expert's advice. There, did I cover all the bases? (I know, I left out the train of thought that says that all chemical allergies are really psychosomatic reactions to the smell -- a very difficult premise to test and one that I have more respect for the group members than to suggest) .Mark. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2000 14:10:10 From: "Michael Kendix" To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: Odourless CA and allergies Message-ID: >From: "Mark Shannon" >Local irritation can be reduced by using hand creams or barrier >creams to >reduce the chance of the contact getting through the skin's >natural >defences, Or possibly those latex gloves, assuming one's not allergic to latex?

Message-ID: <001701c05a0f$558eb900$2ef2aec7@default> I've also heard that epoxy can cause allergy > but it's never bothered me. Sure can. I know a guy who ordered a complete Long Easy kit (1:1) and didn't find out he was allergic to the epoxy until he started working on it. He had to work in a full tyvek suit, laytex gloves and respirator. He built the darn thing in his un-airconditioned garage in Florida. Fourty five minues at a time. Now that's dedication. When I burn the CA off my application needles, I always hold the needle and lighter higher than my nose and hold my breath. I couldn't build without CA. All my modeling skills except one have improved since I was a kid. I still have the patience of an 8 year old. I just can't stand it if I have to wait more than 10 seconds fro a glue joint to set.

It's amazing how much easier it is to build with CA - you just hold the two parts (balsa) together and flow the fast thin variety of CA into the seam and about 5 secs later your done but watch out - The stuff sets up VERY fast and there is a lot of it - you can actualy see the vapor rising off of it. I caught some in my eyes once (or twice) and it burned like hell. so I don't think you actualy have to be allergic to irritated by the stuff I was told that CA is the only adhesive that works through a chemical reaction as opposed to evaporation is that true?

Message-ID: Brent, are you saying that the ladies currently on the list guzzle beer, burp at will and of course slap you on the back in a good old boy way just as you are getting that last bit of rigging done. Sorry but I couldnt resist.... really;) Ray -----Original Message----- From: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu [mailto:wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu]On Behalf Of Brent Theobald Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2000 7:33 AM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: RE: Does Your Mother in Law... Howdy! What!!! NO!!! I have enough trouble with feminine influence around my house. That's what I like about our virtual WWI clubhouse. It's cluttered, has airplanes hanging from the ceiling, propaganda posters on the wall, books stacked everywhere, started kits on any horizontal surface and a large supply of good beer and ammo. The ladies would start wanting little umbrellas for their mai tai's and asking for .22 rounds. Sheesh! Of course, the ladies currently on the list are far removed from the historical/aviation challenged women that reside in my house. :) Later!
