And Now A Word From Our Sponsor...

Casco Adhesive was a casein glue that had a great reputation. StromBecker included it in their kits, and it was rather easy to use.

This was probably one of the attractions of the StromBecker kits - pre-shaped parts, a pad of sandpaper, and a little envelope of Casco.

Personally, I never used the stuff before, though I know I saw old tins of the stuff amongst my grandfather's tools and paints. By that time, Casco had been long out of production, having evolved into Elmer's Glue-All, which would eventually do away with the casein and switch to polyvinyl acetate.

But this doesn't mean that Casco was weak glue. It wasn't. It and similar glues were extremely tough, even being used in aircraft construction.

Since this StromBecker kit includes a pack, I have decided to use it. Supposedly it could be stored in powder form indefinitely.

We'll soon find out.

EPILOGUE - 

It didn't work. Sigh...
