As I recall, last time I looked for it at Home Depot they DID NOT HAVE IT. I was shocked, but I guess that's big box thinking for you.
Getting hard to find the regular CWF, too. As opposed to the Max (and indeed I am).
I've never tried sealing a nose cone with Elmer's but I'll probably try it next time. I've tried thin CA and I won't do it again — some people swear by it but between the mess, the smell, and the difficulty handling it didn't work for me. I kept missing bits of the surface and not discovering it until I'd sanded a divot out of it. Only thing worse was when I tried thin CA on a balsa transition — that was a disaster, trying to keep the CA off both shoulders.
