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.

Cman I'll get more pic up . I have to learn how to resize to under 4.0 for the forum. When i get to the spray bar i will probably late it directly on the bed. Thanking about sanding bottom edge of pvc fittings so there won't be much open drip space between bar and bed. With as low of water pressure that will be in spray bar this shouldn't a problem if i sand too much off of the fitings and glue will plug leaks witch may not even need patching. As is now i have a solid cap on end of spray and i'm thanking a threaded plug would be better in case trash plugs bar holes. I've also thought about using clear tubing but it has a membery in a coiled up state needs to be straight. Its still going to be a while before i can work more on the table.
