ess - You will need two types of adhesives for
the 3D Spirit - Epoxy and Instant (cyanoacrylate)
adhesives. We recommend that you purchase both 5-
minute and 30-minute epoxy to cut down on assembly
time, but you can get by with only 30-minute epoxy if
time is not important. You will also need a small bottle
of both “Thick” and “Thin” instant CA adhesive.
