Anyone use Sig-Bond?
Posted by Reaper420 on Sunday, May 11, 2014 6:03 PM
Has anyone had any experience with using Sig Sig-Bond glue? I just picked some up at hobby lobby for 4.99. It seemed like a good buy and a decent glue especially for gap filling and easy to sand. Its an aliphatic resin model airplane glue. Kinda looks like it has the consistency of elmers and it dries clear. Any help or tips on using it greatly appreciated.

Kick the tires and light the fires!

One of those all-purpose glues.  I have used it for gap-filling, but it does tend to shrink a bit I've found, so you might have to put in more than one coat.  Sanding is problematic, and it's best to use a gentle hand or you will pull the stuff right out of the gap.

But easy to work with when still damp, and can be wiped off with a wet paper towel or Q-tip.  Toothpicks come in handy when applying.

To me Sig-Bond looks like another variation of what you might call "Super Elmers Glue"!

i.e. Aleens tacky glue, Canopy glue, Gorilla white wood glue, etc

Sig Bond has been around for years. I used to use it for building wood aircraft frames in the day of Balsa/doped tissue paper airplanes. It was fuel proof so spilling motor fuel on the plane wouldn't damage it. I still use it for building wooden model ships. I usually put a puddle of super glue on the glass plate I work on at the bench, and pick up small amounts for application, cleaning the glass later with a razor blade. I did that with Sig Bond, but when I scraped it off the glass, it actually took flakes of the glass off the surface leaving tiny pits in my work surface. That stuff really sticks!
