I use a cheap CA that I purchase from the local $2.00 shop 10 tubes for 2 bucks although I did check the other day and now there is only 8 for $2.50 that's inflation for ya in China.<br />Check out my Ford factory it is done with MDF (cuts nice and square) and board and batten siding. It looks like Cladding. A few downpipes to cover the joins and hew presto.<br />keep up the good work.<br />Rod.Rod Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07625702984993829556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356203677553509433.post-42822923435845002422013-10-12T09:37:04.066-05:002013-10-12T09:37:04.066-05:00Hi Rod, thanks for the input!

I got kind of lucky with the over laps after that as most fell pretty close with the corrugations, so when I cut them I didn't have to overlap too much. What little there was came off pretty easy by scrapping them with a sharp knife. The first one had a bit of a gap, so I made sure the others didn't. I was able to fill the first corner with a bit of the glue and smoothed it off. When I added the facade I did leave a bit of an overhang and took it off with a small file as you suggested, worked like a champ.<br /><br />I'm still not sure I could work with the CA glue for fitting the larger pieces. It just scares me that it can bond too quickly. Do you use a standard CA glue or is there a slower setting CA glue?<br />Have you ever had it release over time?<br /><br />Thanks for the comments.<br /><br />Allen H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11171623061807868579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356203677553509433.post-13701357792349774932013-10-12T03:47:26.446-05:002013-10-12T03:47:26.446-05:00Hi Allen

If I can offer one suggestion that might help is when adding the siding, overlap the corners on one side and then with a new flat file just file the excess off once the glue has set. The corners come out nice and flush with no gaps.<br />Nice building.<br />Rod.<br />Rod Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07625702984993829556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356203677553509433.post-9121748082408672922013-10-10T15:09:35.864-05:002013-10-10T15:09:35.864-05:00Great!
