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.

Russ the water holes are turned down and some what towards the head of table. I've enlarged the holes several times and seems to help with every enlargment and will enlarge more to see what happens. The holes i drilled in this bar looks like a dotted snake, not straight. I can turn the bar in any direction except in a down slope or in the up position that squirts more than i want, bigger holes may do the trick. It will work as is now but want to fiddle with a little more. I'll run the cons i have in the next week or so and see how it does. I still have to finish the tails catch system and eventually make a auto feeder. I would like to make it out of 2 part resin and plywood. I haven't readabout the use of fiber glass anywhere unless i'v just missed it. It may not work well with fine gold. anyway have some time before i get to that.
