Glue and nails
I'm in the process of rebuilding a wooden aileron spar. The process involves gluing and nailing 2"x3"x1/16" reinforcing patches to the spar. I plan on applied glue and clamped the patches in place; when dry, putting in the nails. What are the nails doing for me and is hammering in nails after the glue has dried likely to effect the gluing? - Mike |

Glue and nails
If you are gong to nail them, why nail afterwards? The stresses from
nailing may cause some local cracking of the dried glue line... I would glue coat the gussets and the part, clamp them together in alignment and nail them right then... Agree with dipping the nails... denny |
