Specifically, the chart indicates a difficulty in gluing with white cedar. Does it glue better with modern epoxies? Any experiences? Cedar is far more available around these parts. -------- Andy Garrett 'General Purpose Creative Dude' Haysville, Kansas Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=447356#447356 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 06:11:30 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: best wood for capstrips From: "jarheadpilot82" Last revision is dated 1998, not many decades ago.

Certainly can't imagine any modern epoxies having any problems. I do not have experience using resorcinol or casein glue with cedar.

It is readily available in all grades, is affordable (even free, if you look in the right places), and is definitely suitable for building airplanes out of. Beefy sections like wing spars and 1x1" longerons are easy to work with but rib capstrips will put it (and you) to the test due to the slenderness and small dimensions of the pieces. DF is more brittle than spruce and depending on how the grain is oriented relative to the bend you are trying to put into it, you can snap it easier than spruce. Nailing or stapling into it (such as when attaching gussets) is far more likely to split DF than spruce if you nail or staple too close to the edge, and even if you don't hug the edge it likes to split anyway. Thin, short wire staples into DF are best for holding gussets in place while they glue. The other thing about Doug fir is that the grain lines are harder than the wood between the lines. When you drill or nail parallel to a grain line (not through it), your drill bit or nail or staple will want to follow the grain line away from the center that you're trying to drill or nail. It's a bit fussy but it makes up for its shortcoming by being affordable, strong, and -to my nose, at least- pleasantly aromatic, where spruce has almost no smell at all. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=447364#447364 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
