    Mounting Fittings - What type of epoxy

    I am starting to do the finish work on my first sub and I am ready to mount some of the metal hull detail. Whats a good glue to use. A small bit of 60 minute epoxy? SuperGlue?

    Any advice would be great. Hate to run the sub and have it comeback without all the details.

      I have a subtech Albacore

      I have a subtech Albacore hull that I Scratch Built a WTC for.

      It runs great. I am excited to finish it because I have a Type IX U boat under the bench I am wanting to start.

      Thanks for the advice on the glue.

        Hello Lee. I have been

        Hello Lee. I have been told to stay awayfrom super glue because it will fail due to water getting into the joint. I know some guys may say, "well I glued that part ten years ago and it just fell off today, that glue is no good". Is super glue good for the long hall or should it be backed up with epoxy.
