Using Ambroid
How do you slow down the glue coming out of the nozzle / tube end when you are trying to use it? You have to be really careful or it floods the area you are working on. I like to use this on skins as it is sandable and still dries fairly quickly, much faster than white glue or resin glue.

RE: Using Ambroid
I have always found that with a new tube it poors out so you dont have to squeeze, but once some is gone you have to force it out with a gentile squeeze. I dont know if there is some suction that is into play or it thickens up a bit. Some squeeze a small bit out on a plate and use a scrap stick to put it on the joint.

RE: Using Ambroid
I've used glue syringes with it before too... just clean 'em out real well after you're done, and re-use them. Finally... Somebody who knows the Value of Ambroid!

RE: Using Ambroid
I didn't even know Ambroid was still available. Now that does bring back some memories. I need to get some, to smear it on my fingers, so I can chew it off.
CA just ain't the same.

RE: Using Ambroid
Testors glue tips are the little plastic doodads they sell for their tubes of wood and plastic cement. They fit Ambroid tubes perfectly (they'll also fit a bottle of RC56 canopy glue well enough to do the job).

RE: Using Ambroid
Great, I have been applying it and using my finger to spread it out the way I want it. I like using CA, but for certain things, resin glue works for me, and I find Ambroid works pretty well, also. I just needed to slow it down some. It seems a little thin, but will thicken and tack up well if you let it set up for about a few minutes, then lightly add a little fresh to the area. Thank you all. I am working on a Top Flite 60 P47.

RE: Using Ambroid
Hey, you oldsters. I have fond memories of using Ambroid glue. Yep, used to watch the A/C go out of control as some tail feather part fell off in flight. The Ambroid was still stuck to each part though. Can't do that sort of flying today.
