Any other glues you'd recommend for this job? >Preferrably something at home depot or ace... ------------ I plan on using JB Weld. I think any epoxy would work also. All it's doing is holding things in place to make the riveting easier. I helped my son do his rudder, and we didn't glue it at all. Of course it required 2 of us to do it that way, but it came out great.

You can purchase it online or as I did from a local marine supply store. Boaters (and airplane builders) love this stuff. I've yet to find a better adhesive. Comes in white or black color. One six-ounce tube is approx. $10 but will be enough to build an entire airplane where needed. Store the unused portion in a zip lock bag and keep it refrigerated. Caution: Once this stuff sets up... it WON'T be coming off! I used it to glue my NACA vents to the fuselage so as not to use any rivets. I also used it glue the intersection fairings to my wheel pants. NOTE: The regular 3M 5200 takes 5-7 days to set-up. Be sure to get the 5200 FAST CURE (24-HR) unless you are not in a hurry....
