I don't use plasticizer for most joints even though I use Duco or
Ambroid, both thinned with acetone. I haven't seen problems on most
joints, but occasionally get really pronounced warps when gluing boron
to spars. Since it doesn't happen all of the time, I just assumed that
is was my technique, which is still suspect, but it may be due to the
glue. I'll try some plasticizer and see what happens.

I don't have problems with boron on motor sticks with warpage, but
they are heavier since they are for F1M. I haven't built an F1D for a
while, but next time I do I'll also try plasticizer.

I haven't really had much success with white glue. I think I might not
have the glue at the proper dillution/thickness.
