"OK - so I am placing the order now, but how much T-88 should I buy?"
I asked this question when I started building, and was told about three
gallons of glue, experience has shown this to be a pretty accurate
estimation, the centre section spars, boat, floor, ply skinning, tail and
wooden turtle deck have used just under two gallons. I bought T-88 in 1
gallon lots as I needed it.
As for Wicks vs Aircraft Spruce, both seem to do the job, Wicks seem a
bit more customer freindly, AS seem to have slightly lower prices, (but not
always ). Both are better to deal with than the locals.
