Model builders throughout the United States have discovered a safe, non-toxic, strong and quick drying adhesive that is quickly replacing all others in the workshop. WELDBONDŽ is proving to be the world's most versatile and user-friendly adhesive product on the market. Its extraordinary blend of unique and ultra high performance features make WELDBONDŽ the best all around adhesive for builders of wood and foam models.

WELDBONDŽ looks like standard white glue, but there the similarity ends. A catalyzed polyvinyl acetate, WELDBONDŽ is white when applied and dries crystal clear. This highly concentrated adhesive is tacky and will not run like other white glues. It sets quickly and holds strong after curing overnight.

WELDBONDŽ will glue almost anything to anything. It is excellent to adhere balsa, plywood, acetate canopies, fiberglass, hardwood, foam and paper rocket tubes. WELDBONDŽ is much stronger than CA. It has tremendous tensile lap shear strength, which is so critical to glue joints in model aircraft construction. WELDBONDŽ is excellent for gluing plywood to plywood and is especially strong for all wood splices and laminated wing and tail tips. Thin wood can be laminated with WELDBONDŽ without warping.

Unlike other glues when set, WELDBONDŽ dries flexible, so wood joints will absorb vibration and shock. With WELDBONDŽ, joints will be stronger--the wood will break before WELDBONDŽ lets go. Less time at the workbench making repairs means more time on the flying field.

As a sealer, one coat of WELDBONDŽ will make wood water-resistant. A second coat will make the wood oil and gasoline proof. This makes it ideal for large aircraft using gasoline type motors, such as the Quadro and Zenoha. WELDBONDŽ is the perfect adhesive base for iron-on coverings. It exhibits a very high affinity for the heat-activated adhesive of the iron-on coverings. Use it for applying fiberglass cloth to high stress areas like wing center sections.

And WELDBONDŽ has an infinite shelf life when stored properly. Unlike CA and epoxy resin adhesives, WELDBONDŽ has no fumes, is non-allergenic, is non-toxic and cleans up with water. These user-friendly qualities make WELDBONDŽ the perfect adhesive for young modelers.

Since its introduction to the model and hobby market in 1993, WELDBONDŽ has achieved critical acclaim from experts in the industry. Bob Stalick of Model Builder magazine, says "It is super stuff …. Try it, you'll like it," and Frank Fanellie of Flying Models calls WELDBONDŽ "very unique and practical." Other publications, such as Model Aviation and RCM, highlighted WELDBONDŽ in their new products sections.

WELDBONDŽ is the creation of Frank T. Ross & Sons, one of the world's leading adhesives manufacturers located in Toronto. Originally sold exclusively in hardware and home supply stores as a universal bonding adhesive, WELDBONDŽ has been discovered as "perfect" for the model and hobby industry.

"We're thrilled that model and hobby enthusiasts have embraced WELDBONDŽ as their new glue of choice, " said Blake Ross, marketing director for Frank T. Ross & Sons. "This industry is a vital new arena for our adhesives."

WELDBONDŽ, in the red, white and blue bottle, is currently available in 2 oz., 4 oz., 8 oz., 12 oz., and 21 oz. bottles with non-clogging nozzle.
