I am making some trestle bents for the flume on my diorama, and using my tried and true Goo. It's a little OLD, like me. Did I read somewhere that the joints can be strengthened by "kicking" the Goo with CA?

I think it was Martin Brechbiel who suggested that to me, using Goo to position and hold in place parts on a resin kit, and then locking the joint with CA.

Wow............ that['s a new one on me......

I've had good luck at treating Goo like contact cement and letting both surfaces dry a bit before pressing together.

Consider also Franklin Tite-Bond.................... NO Borden products ! ! ! !

There is something in Tite-Bond that is speeded up by pressing together the parts.  It is like a bit of pressure creates some heat and sends it into a doughy stage that allows quick working steps in wood.
