That Glue Tube graphic Estes uses in the instruction manuals a generic symbol to represent all plastic glues. Hopefully I can get specific name brand glues to be mentioned in the instruction manual for any additional Little Joe II kit productions, the Saturn V kit and any other models that may come out in the future that uses a vacuum form wrap or parts.

That's a good idea--Thank You! That specific glue information need not be incorporated into the actual kit instructions, but could be printed on a "Glue Suggestions Addenda Sheet" that could be included with the instructions. It could identify the general glue types (the glue type descriptions in Stuart Lodge's "The Model Rocketry Handbook" and G. Harry Stine's "Handbook of Model Rocketry" would be good sources), then mention specific brand names. The "Glue Suggestions Addenda Sheet" could be updated as needed over time, as new glue brand names appear. |
