Gluing Balsa

This guide outlines the main adhesives suitable for bonding balsa wood in modelmaking and explains how to use each effectively. It covers PVA for slower-setting, adjustable joins; superglue for fast, precise bonding with accelerator; and balsa cement (UHU Hart) for strong, clean joints on both open and enclosed surfaces. Clear, simple instructions help beginners choose the right glue for each task and apply it correctly to achieve reliable, accurate balsa assemblies.
