Well- the 'grey goo' (structural adhesive tends to flow quite a bit - hence 
the cabo to thicken it -

The milled glass is fine to add - but won't have the same effect as the 
cabo - it is also heavy -  however,   I'd suggest you always plan on adding 
some milled glass to the grey goo when doing true structural glass to glass 
layups - gluing the strakes is a perfect example.  Flox is lumpy and messy - 
but lighter although not as strong.  Cabo will give you a nice cake frosting 
type mix.  Also on the strakes I would suggest a skim coat on the strake and 
a thicker coat on the spar -

If it were me -  I'd wait until I could get some cabo.  I highly recommend 
the grey goo for the strakes.

John

The plans say to glue the strakes to the center section spar using 
structural adhesive and cabosil or EZ-poxy and flox. I don't have any 
cabosil and I want to attach the strake bottoms tomorrow. Would stuctural 
adhesive and milled glass be good?
