Re: pic: Cheap 6WD
OK, I guess I have to confess, I learned the CA trick while building RC planes. The baking soda works much like "kicker" for the CA, accelerating the cure. This may or may not be a good thing in this case. It may cause the adhesive to cure too fast, not allowing it to wick as far into the wood. I think you are right, some experimentation may be in order.
Rick, I like epoxy for this also, but the 1 to 1 mixes found at the hardware store are too thick in my opinion. A laminating epoxy like West or Pro-set are better choices. This also takes a lot longer to cure and the protective gloves warning still stands.
I like this thread, lots of good techniques for extending the utility of an inexpensive, easy to use material.
