- White glues are very strong, actually. They are quite a bit stronger than
- 5 minute epoxies and cyanoacrylates in some cases. The drawback is that
- they take time to set and they can cause things to warp temporarily. They
- are good for balsa-balsa joints but they really come into their own for
- wood-foam joints (eg. spars in a combat foamie wing), though I wouldn't
- use it to sheet a wing. Its also quite a bit lighter than epoxy.
