Re: R 56 Z Canopy glue
Your glue will dry just fine. If it was old, it thickened in the bottle some, so it came out of the bottle thicker (like RTV silicone) so you must have had to put it on thick, therefore the added drying time. It will harden in a few days.

Re: R 56 Z Canopy glue
Yep, thick spots can take several days to fully dry.

Re: R 56 Z Canopy glue
That stuff doesn't seem to have a very long shelf life. In the R&D dept. at Great Planes, there are about five or six of us who each have our own bottle of RC/56. We don't use it much, but seems like whenever one of us does need to use it we have to run around checking with everybody else to see who has a fresh bottle. It's good stuff, just doesn't seem to last a long time in the bottle before it thickens too much. That's probably what happened to you.
