I was wondering if you had any opinion on using Hysol 9340 for building the Falco. The shear strength at 180F of 1850psi should be ok for spruce (1200-1400 psi). Do you know of any testing that have been done with this glue? What type of margin of safety would be required for a glue joint? Arnaldo Leon Arnaldo, I haven't heard of it but it certainly looks good. When you talk to anyone in the aerospace business who really knows composite construction, the first thing you hear from them is that there are a lot of snake-oil people in the epoxy business and you really have to be careful believing the claims of manufacturers, with the exception of a few companies: 3M You can rely on their published information, so you can take the Dexter Hysol product literature and stake your life on it. I haven't heard any builder mention this, so I doubt we can find someone else, but I think this is worth pursuing. This sounds similar to Araldite AW 134 from Ciba-Geigy that many builders have used with success. Alfred Scott |
