Glues

 
IMPORTANT: The laser cut parts contained in this kit are extremely accurate in outline and fit. They are meant to be used 
directly out of their sheets, without any trimming or sanding unless specifically called for in the instructions. The laser cutting 
process produces a brownish edge to the parts and, in some cases, a blackout edge may result when cutting harder plywood 
parts. CA adhesives work perfectly on these parts and they do not need to be sanded to remove the discolored edges. In fact, 
sanding the edges of laser cut parts can change their shape and/or dimensions, resulting in a poor fit. DO NOT edge sand the 
laser cut parts in this kit.
 
Our prototype SOMETHIN EXTRA models were built almost exclusively with SIG 
Thick CA (cyanoacrylate) glue, SIGCA021 and our Kwik-Shot accelerator, SIGCA030. 
We use and recommend this glue for several good reasons. The thicker CA 
formulation provides you with a little more time to properly position the parts. Thick 
CA does not tend to run and also fills small gaps between parts. Using the Kwik-Shot 
accelerator along with the thick CA allows you to set the adhesive as required for 
different types of gluing operations. Some builders may wish to work with the SIG 
Medium CA glue, SIGCA012, along with the Kwik-Shot accelerator. This glue also 
works well but with somewhat less working time than the thick variety. SIG Thin CA, 
SIGCA002, is used to install the Easy Hinges and to adhere reinforcing fiberglass 
tape in specific locations. We also suggest that you have a bottle of SIG CA 
Debonder (SIGCA040) available during the construction of this model.
 
One of the fuselage construction steps will call for the use of aliphatic resin glue, such as our SIG-Bond product SIGSB001. The 
only epoxy glue that you will need to build this design is SIG Kwik-Set 5-minute Epoxy Glue, SIGKS001.
 
CAUTION: Some people have experienced allergic reactions when exposed to cyanoacrylate and epoxy glues. This is very 
rare. However, it is always important to use such glues, as well as paints, thinners, solvents, etc., with adequate ventilation to 
minimize and/or eliminate fumes.
 

Sanding Blocks And Straight Edges

 
It has been correctly said that the difference between a good model and a great one is sandpaper and the knowledge of how to 
use it. In these instructions you will note that we often mention sanding blocks , T-bar sanders , etc. You will definitely need 
several sanding blocks to build this model. If you don t already have one, do yourself a favor and purchase a T-Bar sander for 
this project and your shop. We also suggest that you make some sanding blocks of your own in various sizes. Use 3M 77" 
Spray Cement to attach the sandpaper to the sanding blocks and T-bar sanders. When the sandpaper gets tired use a heat gun 
to remove the old sandpaper and attach new. We suggest using 80 grit sandpaper during general construction, switching to 220 
or maybe 360 for final sanding, before covering. 
 
In addition to sanding blocks you will need several good straight edges to build this model. One of these should be at least 24" 
long, preferably 36" .
