I'm framing up some new F1L's this week and am running into an aggravating problem - I can't get a rib in place before the Duco dries on one or both ends. This is resulting in applying glue 2 or three times before I get the parts connected.

Bill,
I never pre-glue anything. I just fit the pieces together and wick the glue into the joints. My glue is thinned Duco - about the consistency of clear dope and I generally reglue most joints for added strength. In the case of wings I invert the structue after drying and apply the second coat to the back side of the joints.

Hope this helps,
