I'm starting to put together material for a aluminum miller table. What i would like to do is glue the Alu together. I've talked with some of my airplane friends and they came up with methacrylate 7350 a Parsons product which is suppose to be self etching. Small amounts of this stuff is hard to come by because of short shelf life. I plan to use Jasco prep&prime(need input)on the glued surfaces regaurdless of what ever adhesive i use. 5200 may work and i've used a lot of it in a marine environment and also glued some of Jens favorite shoe soles(doesn't take much) back together with it.I'm just concerned with the Alu oxidizing and coming a part at the glue seam (not nice). I really don't want to put fasteners in the bed of the table if possible. Any in put good or bad i will appreciate. The metal is on the way and should be here next week. Ordered by phone from discountsteel.com (Fort Worth Tx) for a better price than on line. It beats spending a day driving to Tallahassee and not ending up with what i need. In put on bed surface also, bondo autmotive primer chaulk board paint ect. Later i'll need some help with the math on the spray bar but that can wait. I'm going to keep for anyone relatively neat notes and drawings on this if it turns out well.

I hooked the water up to the table today. All seemed to work fine. Still not finished. It leveled out good just by watching the water run down the table. I'll get a small level this week to use in set up of table. Saw that i could do away with a couple of pieces of hose and a valve. The spray bar is high and the drips falling to the slate is causing ripples going down the table. I'll try a couple of things to make it work as is before reworking it. Water still rounded up under bottom of table at tailing end. I could also see water stacking up about 2" before running off of table. The guess at table angle is 10 degree today. It'll be toward the weekend before i can play with it some more. Will clean the rest of excess caulking off and play with spray bar. Fat n happy
