    Aeropoxy 6228

    Never thought about it. Worth a try even though is time consuming. Thx.

    Aeropoxy 6228

    I am going to keep trying different ways. But rivets seems safer and relatively easier.

    Aeropoxy 6228

    Looks like some of the things required to use it are beyond my possibilities. Hard to measure the thickness of the bond line. That is why I said I will stick with rivets. Thanks anyway. Cheers.

    Aeropoxy 6228

    I was using 320 sand paper and Alumiprep 33 from Aircraft Spruce. Did you try to put alternate stress on the joint? That is when my joint fail. If I would put tension and at the same time some twisting motion back and forth on the glued part I could hear some crackling similar to fiberglass...

    Liability. Scary word. That is true. Every company is reluctant to send a lot of info because of that. Will see if they will send something useful.😁

    Aeropoxy 6228

    That is the reason I was asking for info on the forum. I was looking for someone that used it before, this way I can assess if I am able to follow in his footsteps or if it is above my skill level. Anyway, I will stick with riveted joints. It is a little bit simpler. If the guys from PTM@W will...

    Aeropoxy 6228

    I guess I should have asked if someone’s has experience with Aeropoxy 6228. I guess you don’t.

    As Vigilant 1 said, it is a complex process. I will stick with simpler Chris Heinz riveting process. Works better for my skill level. Thank you.

    Aeropoxy 6228

    Well, I guess I have my answer then. Stick with rivets. Simple and very clean. That is probably the most important info that I got about the rivet-glue procedure. Never found anywhere this info. Saved me a lot of headache. Thank you. Cheers.

    Aeropoxy 6228

    I realized after I posted. Still, low strength than Aeropoxy. I will look to see if I find it here. If it holds better in my project than Aeropoxy, I should use it . Thx.

    Aeropoxy 6228

    Well, I cannot find any limitations in that regard. It is used to bond aluminum structures. They call it structural adhesive.

    Aeropoxy 6228

    Looks like this is a variant of Loctite. But its strength is lower than a Aeropoxy. Loctite HHD8000 is 2650psi compared to Aeropoxy 6228 at over 348psi. And Aeropoxy is easier to obtain for me. It is right here in Toronto.

    I guess is not available at Aircraft Spruce. And bringing anything in Canada is a hassle…😁

    Aeropoxy 6228

    I am not trying to do a lab analysis. It is beyond my capabilities. What I was looking for is info from the guys that maybe worked with this stuff. What they did and how it came out.

    Aeropoxy 6228

    What I am trying to do is bond the wing skin on the rivet line and at the same time at the joint under the fuselage as the two wings are coming together. As the spar can be built in one piece, I don’t have a break to bend a 12 feet long skin, so I will have to make it from two parts and connect...

    Aeropoxy 6228

    I can’t twist is that much. The scraps are 2023t3 0.065”. Pretty thick for me to deform it, (not superman 😩) but I can hear the crackling underneath while I twist it…

    Aeropoxy 6228

    I am using 2024t3. I am trying to bond the skin together and the skins to spars and ribs. I will be using rivets too. But my concern is that the whole bond is not vey flexible and once in turbulence, that epoxy becomes just extra weight instead of extra strength….

    Aeropoxy 6228

    Hello. I am trying to epoxy some aluminum parts using Aeropoxy 6228. I cleaned the surface, sanded and let it cure for 48 hrs at about 100F or so. The area is about 1.5x4 in or so that means about 6square inches. It is a scrap piece for tryouts. It holds if I try it in shear but if I twist the...
