Adhesives

I have been asked so many times if I stock adhesives that I have had to give in. I now stock the two most used adhesives for wooden aircraft construction. Aerolite 306 and what used to be called Aerodux, Prefere 4050 Resin and Prefere 5750 Hardener.

 

Aerolite 306

Aerolite 306 powder urea-formaldehyde resin, used with Prefere 5325 liquid adhesive hardener (formerly known as GBPX) provides a gap filling, water resistant adhesive which is highly resistant to mould, fungi etc. Aerolite 306 with Prefere 5325 conforms to BS 1204: Parts 1&2 (Type MR)

Sizes available and prices
375g Twinkit 250g powder and 125g 5325 hardener	£9.00
1Kg 306 powder	£15.00
1 Kg Prefere 5325 hardener	£9.00

 

Prefere 4050 Resin and 5750 Hardener
(formerly known as Aerodux).

4050 is mixed 1:1 with 5750 to provide a phenol resorcinol adhesive which is fully weatherproof and resistant to acids, weak alkalis, boiling water and solvents.

At the moment I only stock the ‘Fast’ resin but don’t worry, it is hardly like cyano-acrylate but cures a little faster than the Medium.

The choice of many homebuilders it is excellent for all wooden structures and especially laminations including propellers.
