    Default glue

    Best adhesive I have found from Aircraft Spruce called "Super T" and it's available in two versions "ultra Gap Filling" and a thicker version which really works well if you have a very rough surface. The first has the consistency of about 50 wt oil. It is a Cynoacryllate adhesive that bonds in about 30 seconds and have full strength in about a couple of hours. I have used it for years and have never had it fail. Works great on spoilers, bodywork, composite or metal bonding.

    Id recommend Hysol 9430. The only epoxy I use on the
    014 for bonding carbon.Not the cheapest, but the right stuff. I get mine from Aircraft Spruce. Setting time is fairly slow.
