Default A viable technique : Plywood bonding to Aluminum fuselage structure ??

Hi guys,
thanks all for the responses. Doing further research I have an idea
of bolting thin furring strips to the aluminum fuselage structure.
Countersink the heads, washers, lock nuts. My idea is to soak these
and bolt them gently to the fuselage with so they can cure to the
correct curve. Then remove the furring and fully varnish it.
Re-attach via lock nuts. Then glue the fuselage siding onto the
underlying furring.

The benefits are removable of the fuselage skins can be accomplished
by unbolting the underlying furring strips from the aluminum. The
other benefit is I avoid a direct glue joint between aluminum and wood.
