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.

The fittings hold the bar 1/8 +- off of table. The cresent is water stacking up behind fittings and then trying to flatten out. I had glued th cap end and the cresent is more noticable there. The 90 is just friction snug but is rounded out the out side of the 90 as they come. I didn't getting a very square cut on the 90 for the part that actually sets on the table. I have everything to put another bar together with a cap cut down to +- 1/4. I've also thought about putting 1 round head screw in each fitting to hold the fittings off of table to loose the cresent. This i will try on the bar pictured first. Russ something else that you can't see is that at every imperfection (space shuttle caulking) going down the table at slate and rail seams is a tiny ripple running out from the rail. These are tiny but with less angle and slower water almost gone. I've got both 500 & 360 pumps. The scrap pvc that is tied with power pro is gone. In the picture that is a lot of what you are seeing. Water running around end cuts and not being square across table. It would work but you would have to have almost zero tolerance on the rail ends. The cresent is still there regardless with pvc fittings. I had to go back and look at what your looking at. I'll get some more pic but will have to be close in order to try and keep tham under 4.0
