- Personally, I don't see the point to this discussion. OK, so maybe (maybe not)
- you can use hot glue attaching fins. Why would you want to :-)? If you want
- something better than white/yellow glue use 'gap-filling' cyano. Stronger
- than white glue. Dries fast (SUPER fast with accelerator). Easy to use.
- Much less messy. A little goes a long way. No batteries/AC required.
-
- If you don't like cyano, use 5 minute epoxy, mixing a tiny batch for each fin.
