Hi Guys,
Just wandering if there is any other type of glue for the RB7 to use other than the loctite flex as it is not available in Australia in any retail outlet?
Thanks

Thank you Tomick,
I read the post you recommended but I am still confused as to the type(beginners ignorance) is it a standard super glue? Which is easy enough to find. I was just going off your recommendation in your build diaries to use a flexible type of super glue. Thank you by the way for your effort and time you put into the build diaries, they are fantastic.

So tomick, let me get this straight.
Regular super glue is no good?

With careful application it should be okay, though you run the risk of the glue running onto surrounding areas which will damage those areas.

The control bottle that I get you can let out either a small drop or a large amount, makes it easier to control where it goes.

Hello again RB7 fan's,
Just my thought's of using super glue gel,
I've done what Tomick recommended and purchased this "Super Glue" brand Gel with a special applicator and what great stuff! It is so neat. I wished I'd have known about this Super Glue Gel before my build because I'd have ended up with a neater front wing. The normal super glue as you know is runny and when it run's as many of you may already know it takes the paint with it and then those run lines as well as some of the join's where it had run has turned cloudy, so I now have some touching up to do which is a pain. So everyone if you want the best for your RB7 use the Gel where applicable and also, pay a tiny bit more and get a "good Brand Name glue" I've had some bad result's with some El Cheapo brand glue's and for the result's and the sake of a couple o' buck's it's worth it.
