The wings of the Skybolt have laminated curved
structures called wigtip bows. These bows are roughly
one-half circle with a 21" radius on the outer
surface. They are constructed by laminating six
pieces of spruce, 1/8" thick by 3/4" wide to make a
bow that is 3/4" x 3/4".

With long history of good glues for gluing wooden structures and in recent
years we know T88 works really well. I know some people who use West System
epoxy for gluing wooden structures and have no problems with it either.
Personally I would stick with known reliable products for basic structure

That's what I needed to hear. I could find nothing on
anyone that had results with it. This forum seems to
have the most knowledgable composite builders on the
net, so I always like to check here before I leap.

You probably already know it but if you get the urethane glue/gorilla glue on
your clothes, it is probably there forever. If you get it on your hands (like I
did) then you will be sitting around for days attempting to pick it off. I

Until I read all these glowing reports on Gorilla Glue, I was going to say
that it's not nearly strong enough for aircraft purposes, at least based on
my experience. Maybe I don't know how to use it (I sure thought I followed
the directions), but I don't think it's nearly as strong as T-88. I've
OK, you guys know me. I just go to the source so I KNOW what I'm talking
about instead of guessing. I just called the Gorilla Glue folks at the
phone number on the bottle. Tensile strength on Douglas Fir is 1700 psi.
T-88 is 7000 psi (although it's not given as to what kind of wood was
tested).

The technical data sheet for T-88 is at
http://www.krnet.org/misc/t-88_tds.pdf . You may notice that the lap joint
shear strength is 1800 psi for maple, but that's material failure, not glue
line. That may also be the case for the 1700 psi number that I got from the
Gorilla Glue folks. Still, ap

Ken:
I stated in my original post that this application
will probably squeeze most of the glue out from
between the plys. This is why I am considering
something else here. So in reality, it might BE broke!
:-) I'm just trying to see if it's best for this
particualr application, and I appreciate
the manufacture does not want Gorilla Glue used in aircraft because it can
turn to liquid under extreme sheer pressure

My concern is that if I use T-88, the clamping pressure from making the
radius in the jig will force all the glue out and starve the joint, making
T-88 not reusable.
Any suggestions>?

I use it all the time on wood-to-wood since Veeduber expressed his views.
It is great stuf

Apart from that, I believe it matches Epoxy for
foam-to-wood bonding.
