I would be very grateful if anybody could advise me of the definitive specification for the wood adhesive used on the Miles Gemini mk1a, mk7 and Percival Proctor T9/41 mk5. These would have built between 46 & 51.
I known these were “urea-formaldehyde resin either mixed or separatetly applied” but this description refers to a family of products and I need to be more specific.
Any help welcome.

Very interesting topic on Pprune ref The Wonderful Mosquito.
Long discussion on glue types there.
Hope that helps – let us know!

Could very well be Aerolite, with either clear, pink or green hardener. Difficult to say without having seen the glue, but Aerolite was very common in those days for British aircraft manufacturing.

Do you know what colour it was, such as clear or brown etc, that may give a clue.
