• When you see the term
test fit in the instructions, it
means that you should first position the part on the
assembly without using any glue, then slightly modify
or custom fit the part as necessary for the best fit.
• Whenever the term
glue is written you should rely upon
your experience to decide what type of glue to use. When
a specific type of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.
• Whenever just
epoxy is specified you may use either
30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy or 6-minute epoxy. When
30-minute epoxy is specified it is highly recommended
that you use only 30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy,
because you will need the working time and/or the
additional strength.
