[WWI] Ethicon Wire

[Matt Bittner]

It's all I use.  I primarily glue it with CA, although a few times I've
used white glue - I prefer CA.  Never had a warpage problem or anything
like that.

Check the list galleries to take a look at my stuff.  No difference
now, as to when the photos were taken.

Granted, anything is prone to "fat fingers", which I do have...

To all and sundry,
 
    Tom Harrison (?) of Tom's Modelworks was at our IPMS meeting on
Thursday and I was talking to him about the Ethicon .005 wire I'd
recently bought.  He cautioned me in two ways:
 
    1.  You'll have some difficulty with gluing it because it won't
stay put, even with cyano.
 
    2.  Be very careful about the lengths because the wire under
pressure (if too long) can cause warpage, especially on vacform wings.
 
    Since I'm about to use the wire for the first time, any comments,
especially on the gluing?  If cyano isn't recommended, would Elmer's
white glue be okay?
 
    TIA
 
                                                    Mike Vice
