: We use it all the time in the shop for gluing small pieces around the
: cockpit. Find a thicker gap filling type and you will use very little.
: Sets quickly but still takes a good hour to fully cure and is much more
: brittle than other glues.

Also, it doesn't seem to work well on Western Red Cedar unless you use the spray-on catalyst, but it seems to work fine on hardwoods and spruce without it. It's pretty temp sensitive as well. It's got to be pretty warm for it to work. I can't get it to work reliably below 60-65*.
