I think that wings and other areas have a different level of criticality and stress. I also did not use VE on areas other than the wings and you can get a good bond, but it is just good. When Jerry and I installed the first windshield made from Lexan, anyone remember how long ago that was?, well, I bonded it to the forward deck which is made using VE, using Aero Poxy. When I had to remove it, all I had to do was to get the fiberglass tape started peeling off and then gave it a healthy yank and up it came. Not something I want to trust to the wings. I did continue to use Aero Poxy on the final windshield that is in there now, and it is what bonds the VE turtle deck to the fuselage.
Rough it up good and you can get a good bond, but as Larry says,... See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you in Mt. Vernon - 2006 - KR Gathering There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for building is OVER. Daniel R.
