91 Year Old RC Modeler Wins BSI Adhesives

BSI donates product to many organizations all year long, but the best part of donating is the feedback from customers. It doesn't matter what age you are BSI adhesives fit your hobbies.

BSI,
I was one of the lucky winners at our Club's Christmas Raffle and I won your box of glue.  It is very much appreciated for I am 91 years of age and I would rather build from plans or scratch or repair than fly.  I am about ready to give up flying.  It's tough getting old. This winter I finished a Piper Club  62"  for a member and before that a PT-19  like I trained in during WW2.

Thanks again for the Glue

Art G.

Congratulations Art! Keep 'em flying!

Building a Scale Model of the Riley Model B Kit Plane: Using the RIGHT Adhesives

Chuck Gratner from Pittsburgh, PA, like many aviation enthusiasts, is fascinated with the art and beauty of aircraft from the 1930. So, he has created from the missing chapter of this Golden Age of Aviation the Riley Model B, which combines many of the best features from aircraft of this period.

Chuck details the construction of the Model B on his website http://www.gratnerbrothers.com, where it is clear he uses BSI's Insta-Set accelerator, but less clear what brand of thin CA is used as the primary adhesive for the aircraft. So we contacted Chuck, and his response was "There is no mystery about what glue I use. It has been BSI exclusively for as long as I can remember!" He went on to say that one of the best things about the Insta-Cure super thin is he rarely actually needs an accelerator. He uses capillary tubing (BSI #305) inserted into the nozzle and usually doesn't have a clog for the entire life of a 2 oz. bottle.
