A couple of weeks back while at WallyWorld, I bought some Gorilla Glue on a lark. I had heard about it a while back from folks here at Starship Modeler - I'm pretty sure it was Robb / Kylwell who had first mentioned it there - , but don't recall specifics other than I seem to recall him mentioning that it was a "gap filling" sort of CA.
Anyhow, I ran out of regular CA tonight and was wanting to put these two main hull pieces together on my Battlestar Atlantia build. I read the directions, wet the two parts and then put the GG on the join lines, going just a bit heavy on the glue. So far, it seems good, tho I used a bit too much and had it squirting out the seams to excess in several areas. I used a standard paper towel to wipe up the excess.
I put rubber bands on the model to get a nice, tight pressure on the parts. Thus far, it seems to have sealed up what little bit of seam line was initially appearing, filling in some of those spaces where a gap looks to still exist, as I seem to recall Robb mentioning.
So, my questions are these:
* My hands are a bit sticky, does that wear off over time, I guess? Is there anything in the way of common household items that I can use to clean this off my hands? It's only annoying, nothing beyond that. And yes, I know it says to use gloves and I know why it's got my hands feeling sticky. I'm a modeler, so don't follow directions....
* Will this bond resin to resin? Will it bond plastic to resin? Is there any medium on which it doesn't work?
* Once it fully cures, is there anything in particular I can use to clean up the excess? I mean, other than an Xacto to trim up any gobs and/or sanding or filing, of course.
* Does it take a putty on top of it well? I generally use Tamiya Putty, Basic Type for filling seams and the like. Has anyone had negative experiences filling on top of the Gorilla Glue?
I appreciate any and all experiences you care to share. Thanks muchly in advance!
