I have used West System epoxy with great success for bonding large non-structural areas, such as the new wider shelf, overlaid over the original shelf and additional area. It was much easier, and cheaper. All structural components have received the T-88 treatment per Mark Langford's original recommendation to me back at the beginning of the summer. It is not just good for like materials, but is excellent for mixed material applications, i.e.. wood & glass, wood & aluminum, etc.. provided one preps the 2 surfaces correctly. For bonding AND reinforcing at the same time cotton flox using West epoxy, and cotton flox added to a moist paste works wonderfully. It also gives great flexibility in the materials to be bonded.
