REFLECTOR: Flox question

[Andy Millin]

Hey Matt,

Yes, you can do it as you describe.

As you describe it, you will have a Mechanical Bond.  I think that is the
right term.  Think of it as two pieces that are glued together.

If you did it all in one step, then you will have a Chemical Bond (not sure
of terminology).  This way you have one piece.  I believe it is stronger
this way.  I would do it this way.

FWIW,

Andy

I am going to put in layup B on the wing/winglet joint. I will be running 2
beads of flox before I put the lay up on. One bead on each part, outside
edge.  Any reason I cannot let the flox cure, sand and then apply the glass?
Or should I apply the glass layup to wet flox, with the foam slurried?

Matt
