@ScottP Can you recommend a vinyl cement for coating wings?

Thanks.

That's a really cool pattern. I really appreciate your input on this forum, you've inspired my and I'm sure countless other tyers to push ourselves! Thanks!

Ryan,

I had been buying tubes of the stuff at the box store; tended to dry up (in the tube) rather quickly. Needed some last week and remembered I had a can of this from some plumbing work I did last year:

Worked great - good consistency, seems to have a shelf life a lot longer than the tubes, has it's own applicator; use it in a well ventilated area.

Regards,
Scott
