IIRC, the old method from the 1970's was to use "Ambroid" glue, which is no longer made. Perhaps Testor's "wood glue" would work well enough.
I do not recall for sure if I ever tried doing that, or not. Maybe once. Pretty hard to glue a round thing to a leading edge and not affect the airflow. And I didn't have the patience/skill to try to cut a tiny angled notch into the LE for the line to fit into, or not badly mess up the shape of the leading edge which is usually the most important shape of a wing airfoil.
For those who wonder why even do it, it's an old-school F/F model plane method to provide some "ding resistance" to a leading edge of small balsa wing gliders (usually hand-launch type). |
