OT:- Can I bond Plyboard to metal (mild steel) angle with normal PU bond???

Hi All,

As above, I have a spare tube of PU (normal stuff in black for bonding FG wings to wingstays) and wondered whether I could sucessfully make a relatively arduous task much easier! (I don't fancy drilling a hundred holes in 3mm steel angle iron!)

So, assuming I key both surfaces, what do people reckon the chances are that I will get a good bond? Other things to note are that this is not a kitcar, and is a trailer. Therefore, not structural as anything weighing on the bonded join will only serve to press the mating faces together...

Thanks in advance for constructive feedback...

Cheers,
Steve

It's a very robust trailer

You always go too far Scootz!

When we talk of a trailer we mean a bastardised caravan chassis which we hope might suffice to drag a kit car to the track and back without giving out.....not the sort of trailer you would buy and then sell at less than purchase price
