The wings of the Skybolt have laminated curved
structures called wigtip bows. These bows are roughly

pieces of spruce, 1/8" thick by 3/4" wide to make a
bow that is 3/4" x 3/4".

epoxy for gluing wooden structures and have no problems with it either.
Personally I would stick with known reliable products for basic structure
