My understanding is the T-88 is a 50/50 mix and was verified by the tech
support at T-88.  The people at SystemThree even pulled some samples that
matched my batch numbers and tested.  They said they were fine.

I think the issue ended up to be me!  I am expecting more from T-88 than it
will do.  I am used to using CA glues with Model Airplanes.  Balsa to balsa
with CA in the joints will never break anywhere near the glue joint.

With some recommendations of my local EAA chapter and a few samples from
others, my glue seems normal other than the viscosity.  I did find that
putting epoxy on both surfaces and heating it before putting them together
helped.  I also found that gusset blocks ARE the strength of the joint.  We
could break joints easily by hand without gussets, but with gussets I could
barely break them by kicking them.
