I have tried Dendrite but it did not work well for me. Further, I thought it would be heavy.. silly me!  ;D (SPADs are heavy  ;D).. To be honest, I like working with CA than any other glue.. just a personal preference, I guess. 8-)

VC bhai, it my pleasure. The trick is to sand the coro, so that, you produce enough heat by friction (same like flashing). Also, the sanding will ensure a rough surface for the CA to adhere on. Just get/or make a nice sanding block with handles. You don't want to get blisters on your fingers.

BTW, on the Anabond, I am pretty sure the type that I used is not listed on their website. Its something like 555 and its damn good. Once you make a "proper" joint you cannot take it apart, if you persist it would tear the coro. The down side is of course, you cannot make fine adjustments.

I use normal 203 fevikwik CA. I sand both surface, then wipe it clean with a moist cloth. Put very small drops of CA on one surface then glue them together while they are still little moist.

Fevicol PUR, good for foam and Easy Star. The handsome model is our new moderator...Amit aka SunLikeStar ;D. His Easystar aka Cyanostar at Baner >:D can also been seen in the background.

It's an awesome adhesive, but i dont know if we can use this on SPADs.
BTW Mohan is a very accomplished SPAD builder and he should stop being so selfish and post some building techniques, a build log maybe  8-)
