| Subject: | doc's email and plastic resin glue |
First off, does anyone have a good email for Doc Mosher? Been emailing him
and haven't heard back.
Secondly, regarding plastic resin glue, produced by "weldwood" or others.
Resourcinol is not what is commonly referred to as "plastic resin" glue.
Resourcinol is the two part, dark red glue that is a fabulous product and
FAA approved for wood. "Plastic resin" glue is/was produced by many
companies, one of them "Weldwood" and was a powder that one mixed with
water, and it was a milky color I think.
As correctly mentioned earlier, hit is officially considered "obsolete" and
it's use is discouraged due to the reasons mentioned. These reasons didn't
come out of thin air, but from painful experience over time. Yes, some have
had luck with it, but others have not. The stuff has been banned in
Australia for airplane use for the same reasons.
Also as mentioned earlier, I am finishing up a rebuild of the parts that
were build using plastic resin glue because of glue joint failures, and
these were done in the early nineties. None of this makes me an expert, but
I have understandably done a little research into the issue. One thing I
can say is that nobody agrees exactly what the problem was with the joints
in my project. The builder who started it used the plastic resin (I used
T-88 on everything I built) and his woodworking skills were beyond question,
however some of the glue joints were bad. Whether this was because of
improper mixing, mixing in the wrong temperature, heat the moisture
degrading the joint or what, nobody who inspected my plane can agree. But
really. WHO CARES!!! WHY USE IT??!!
My $.02 worth on this subject (for what it's worth) is why on earth not just
use one of the great adhesives available that are not in contention? If
there are so many doubts, and even bans on a product, and there are other
proven options, why even risk the possibility that you'll have a plane full
of bad joints like mine was??
Sorry if I ranted.

Couldn't agree more Douwe. I've never had any problems with T-88. The West system
is good stuff too.
Sometimes the turbulence gets a little rough and I'm glad I made sample glue joints
and tested them and feel confident in them.

| Subject: | Re: doc's email and plastic resin glue |
I quote from Aircraft Spruce catologue -- "Weldwood Plastic Resin glue
is water-resistant and is FAA approved for use in certified aircraft and
has been used for many years in a wide range of aircraft applications.
Conforms to Federal Spec. MMM-A-188b, Type ll...It is unaffected by
gasoline and solvents....Excellent for use on wood structures." If my
airplane falls apart in midair, I will call Aircraft Spruce and tell
them they don't know what they are talking about.

Douwe, Just wanted to let you know (for whatever it's worth to you)
that I'm really proud of you for "hitching up you pants" and going
forward with your rebuild. I know it wasn't easy to start again, but
it's amazing what mountain you can climb when you've got the balls to

FWIW
a clarification....
Weldwood is a product line name of DAP.. yes the same folks that make the
window glazing and bathroom caulking found at Home Depot.
The Weldwood product line represents a line of adhesives mainly for the
retail market.
http://www.dap.com/product_categories.aspx
Among others, the ones having aviation applications are / were.
Weldwood Plastic Resin: (banned by the Australians)

DAP HAS CEASED PRODUCTION OF WELDWOOD RESORCINOL
something about VOCs and saving the planet.....

Charles, if you noticed, Jeff DID include pictures as attachments in the
bottom of the email. And the last one has a beautiful young lady sitting in
the front seat.
By the way, nice looking work, Jeff. And I'm impressed that anyone who
builds Pietenpols could attract such a nice young lady.

i'm sure she'll appreciate the compliments... that's my wife of almost 15 years..
she's 5' 10 and i was a bit worried about her fitting so i've been kinda warning
her about it being small...i'm actually building with the F&G manual....
she says she feels like is has more room than my 120 did because we're not shoulder
to shoulder..

Thanks to all who responded=2C especially Hans in Waller=2C TX... where Mal

Now on to the next bit of the trail: the Fairchild may be=2C or have been
=2C in Lakeland Florida. It is very obviously no longer in Malcolm's hanga

Wow, $120 for a TIG Inverter? Hard to believe. 85 Amps is enough for all the

I don't think it's any harder. A slightly different feel but the process is the
same...make a puddle and chase it around.
Practice is the great equalizer. I would just go to google videos and search for
TIG and there are a LOT of great videos that will help a lot.
Let's be real clear that I'm not answering this as an "experienced welder"....but
I think you'll be surprised at how easy it really is. If you've done any gas
welding or MIG welding, you'll do fine with TIG.

I think what he's saying is go with oxy-acetlyne. I had oxy acetelyne but really
like Tig. I had to do some horse trading to get the one I got for a decent
price. I started off with one like you're talking about but did not like the
"scratch" start. I was trying to use it on thin walled steel tubing and could
not turn it down low enough, it would just blow right thru, but there may have
been something wrong with that machine. Get one with a "high frequency" start,
you'll thank me for it. I would recommend the Miller Diversion if you can afford
it (I couldn't) they look like great machines.

Jeff !
Please ask your wife if she would like a ride in my old style Ford driven Pietenpol,
I give rides, even when I help getting the riders in. You must teach her
step up more to clear the cockpit edge.

Ken,
Weekend before last I took the EAA gas welding class here in Houston, so obviously
I'm a novice, but I can repeat some of the instructor's comments about TIG
and oxyacetylene;
1. Oxyacetylene is a dying art, only used by individuals. The commercial world
has already gone to TIG. It is getting more and more difficult to buy welding
tips, rods, etc.
2. A decent TIG rig will cost about $2K. He only recommended Lincoln or Miller.
I think he said Hobart is made by Miller but I'm not sure.
3. If you can weld oxyacetylene, you can weld with TIG.
I'm also fairly certain that William Wynne recommends that first-timers use oxyacetylene
on their homebuilts. If you would like the EAA welding instructor's
email address, I'm sure he wouldn't mind answering any questions you might have.
Contact me offline and I'll get you his email address.
Best regards,
John F.

Great looking fuse. Really, I was only looking at the fuse. Can you tell me where
you got the cane seat bottom?

I welded my entire Skybolt using TIG. But I also needed my O/A rig for heating
some things up. TIG's the only way to go to get the best quality welds and the
least amount of warpage due to its very small heat affected zone (HAZ). With
a little bit of practice, your welds will look like a neat stack of dimes.
Very strong and pretty!

The unit is a DC only unit which means you cannot TIG weld aluminum which
requires AC current to do. Additionally there is no foot pedal to control
the Amperage (heat) and you will more then likely have to scratch to start
the arc which eventually contaminates the tungsten. By the time you add the
torch, argon gauge and regulator you will still not be able to do much more
than advertised. The big come on is they are TIG units, however you never
get the full measure or range of usage out of it. If you decide to go that
way I may be selling one of my hi freq arc initiator boxes which will get
you away from scratch starting but will not give you foot control and or
aluminum capabilities.
This really depends on what you're looking for as far as a TIG rig
