I wonder if you guys can answer a question about aircraft adhesive and
techinques.

I am considering the option of gluing aircraft plywood to a aluminum
tube fuselage structure. After reading about properties of adhesives
to perhaps accomplish this effort I stumbled upon T88. If I used such
an adhesive to bond plywood to aluminum can it ever be removed if I
wanted to re-panel the fuselage with new plywood a few years down the
road?


The epoxy would be fine for bonding the wood, but with time the bond
to unprepared aluminum weakens to zero strength. You're probably
going to end up with fastiners of some kind, like flush head screws,
tinnerman washers and nutplates.

Well, that would cure his repanelling problem. Wouldn't it? 8*0
