[NSRCA-discussion] composite plates?

[Mike Hester]

When attaching it to composites (by the edge), the old school way was to use 
epoxy and a lot of filler. But you need to mix in some milled glass too 
because it becomes brittle. Still if it's a large piece you come out way 
ahead.

When attaching it to wood you have more options. you usually have stringers 
so CA works well, as does polyurethane. Not sure how well polyU sticks to a 
composite fuse though...anybody tried it?
