Bob, Thanks for the straight dope. Know it's got its dangers. Major stinky. Would not build a whole model with it. I prefer plain Elmers White.
I've done the pneumonia thing twice also, though not from vapors. Lost 45 lbs on the first bout and 30 on the second. I remember sitting on the examination table and the doctor's standing back with an impressed look on his face, saying "I've just never seen anyone sweat like that!" Had me on Z packs for 8 weeks. I should worry more about the fumes but I figure the 30 years of Bestine Rubber Cement, Bestine Rubber Cement Thinner, 3M 77 Spray Adhesive and Krylon Acrylic spray have already sealed my lungs pretty good (I say nervously).

Many on the list have talked about it but I always stayed away - until now. Wow! I see many uses in my crystal ball for the future. Have found a new respect for it while forming the basic rear framework for the Airco Dh2. Works like a charm. The Wires will be covered over with the paper strut supports, and then all painted. JoeG JoeG, ???? Be certain not to breath the stuff; the affects are cumulative. We modelers tend to get our nose right down into the work area close to the fumes. Make certain you have a work table fan or something to move that air over your model when using cyanocryate. ???? Pneumonia twice (second one a real beaut) in a ten month period and many visits to the Doctors/ Specialists and test centers convinced me to stop using the stuff.? That ended my "plastic" modeling hobby but thanks to David Okamura I was introduced to card/paper modeling; don't tell anyone but card modeling is three times more fun. ???? Sure, I still use the stuff to stiffen and strengthen small parts, rigging attach points, etc but always at arms length and with the garage door open. ???? Hope this caution helps, Bob Penikas ************** Feeling the pinch at the grocery store? Make dinner for $10 or less.
