    That was strange... I just realized that when I posted that drawing in THIS thread, the same post somehow got copied TWICE into the thread Ken referenced! I didn't do it - I promise!

      That was probably me - as I 'moderated' a copy over. BTW - excellent drawing!

        FWIW your local RC hobby shop has the best stuff in terms of super glue. Its properly called "Cyanoacrilate esther" or CA glue for short. That first part about cyano is just short for cyanide. Which it will produce at temps above 460F. So be careful when using a dremel tool. Just a word of caution...

        Also, for super duper strong repair, the CA glue really loves fiberglass. Just pull some strands or get the ground up stuff and use like the baking soda. For nearly bullet proof repairs, use carbonfiber. Don't believe me? the Voyager airplane that did the nonstop flight around the globe was almost made entirely of cardboard honeycomb, carbonfiber and CA glue. Good stuff that CA glue.
        Ich habe dich nicht gefragt.
