Default Re: Repair of Soft Wood

I was interested in Tacoma Bob's comment about using cyanoacrylate glue ("super glue"). I built dozens of model airplanes out of balsa wood. To strengthen the bond I would use a water thin cyanoacrylate adhesive that is available from hobby supply places. It soaks into the balsa wood and makes it hard and dense.



I have not tired this on rotten wood so I have no idea if it would work in that application.
