I am building a laser wood kit, and it calls for gluing corrugated metal (tin) roofing on to a balsa sub roof. What would be appropriate glues for gluing metal to metal and metal to wood? They were not very specific in their instructions.

Is it really balsa or bass wood? Real metal roofing?
In the past, I have always been able to trust the ancient and venerable Walther's Goo for a metal to wood joint, and for mounting metal roofing to wood underlayment; adding a little CA to the metal surface just makes it bond tighter and faster.
The information Martin (mwb) has provided is spot on. Few modelers know better than he as to assembly techniques and adhesives.

Search for "That to That" on the net, a good resource for these kinds of problems.
Wood to metal glues...
CA (Super Glue, Zap, etc.)
Walthers Goo
JB Weld
PC5
Duro 5 minute epoxy
I have tried 2P10 Jell on structural wood and other construction products. It really holds and if you want it to set faster than 10 seconds there is an accelerator too. It doesn't run.

Any silicone adhesive
Gorilla super glue, gel. Follow directions.
I've used it on everything. I wasn't a believer at first. Can't believe how good it works. Plastic, metal, wood.
Good luck.
