I actually prefer Liquid Nails over Power Grab …Honestly though wouldn’t that wood model have been hand nailed on the 1:1 scale?

Bart, stick with the Goop. I tried the Power Grab on the Engine House and it didn’t do well.

Stuff flaked right off.
Uhh ohh !
Whoops
KAAAAAAA RAP…I just used it on the water tower roof…Dagnabit…
That don’t look good Ken. I use a lot of caulk and adhesive caulk for structure coverings.

How many years was it outside??
Shaving in your shop is ok without a mirror but you need to put the razor back when finished

Razor…hammer…what’s the difference to a Rooster?
Well last night after 6 beers it looked like a razor to me!
That’s a sign…you should have had seven…
You guys are the best!
Next time just use 35yr caulk Ken …Ric I have used the Testors canopy glue in the past (the cab control car comes to mind currently). Problem is nobody has seen a picture of what the hell you want to glue together! Stop thinking so hard and just do what you did before you could ask the internet or cellphone.
I think I’ll stick with the Goop. It’s easy to find, I have less problems with it and it’s cheap.
That works well also!
One of the advantges of working for a large regional hardware distributor is that I occasionally get to look at goodies that interest me…seems there are many different Formulas for Power Grab…just like Goop…Which one didja use Ken? all the ones I found that dried white were for indoor use only…the Allpurpose General Construction stuff I think is what we need…
It was All-Purpose somethin or other, supposedly dried clear…since it was nearly empty, I threw the tube out so I wouldn’t be tempted to try it again.
I used canopy glue to glue in the windows of my first two buildings and lived to regret it. It might be fine for something that is indoors-only, but outdoors, it quickly turns brittle and degrades.
This is for vent fans on an HO engine. Really don’t plan for it to be outside, much.
Well the fans would probably be riveted or screwed down on the1:1 so why would you glue them in place?
BTW …I would never drink a canopy anyway!
