Definitely not Cascamite, it’s well known to last only about 25 years.

Aerolite or Aerodux adhesives I would have thought. Aerolite was the dominant wooden boat adhesive in the 50s and 60s. Aerodux is superior but more expensive and coloured.

I'd have guessed Cascamite and a quick Google seems to confirm that. Another source says it was actually Borden's One Shot but chemically that's the same stuff, a urea-formaldehyde resin glue derived from milk. So probably not too toxic, carcinogenic or environmentally hazardous.
My dad and I used it on our OKs back in the day, particularly for our regular 'wooden mast tuning' programmes, one week we'd plane some wood off the mast, a week later we'd glue some back on

I wonder what evil hot glue Fairey used, must be at least carcinogenic, toxic& environmental hazard.

Hi Piglet - it's cvrda not cvdra which is why you didn't find us on Facebook.
Classic and Vintage Racing Dinghy Association. We've made sure that putting in the wrong one works for the website though. Please try to get the Swordfish kept until lockdown is over so someone could collect. And can you give us more detail such as where and what condition and what equipment is with it?
