Hi,

I have wondered for some time how good of a resin superglue makes for fiberglass and carbon fiber (and possibly kevlar). It seems very strong when I've tried it. Regardless of what the case may be, it is super convenient for very small jobs--especially reinforcing my 20" EPP flying wing. For that type of thing I absolutely love it. Cures very stiff and quickly.

Thanks!

It works well but the main caveat is that it is hard to control since it is so fast. You also lose some of the impact resistance over epoxy since it is more brittle.

Figured the britality was the case.

works well for small patch up jops where weight is a concern. I've done a few tips on my crunchys with CA and glass.
