Making first miller table Options

[burrell]

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 i can kinda under stant your back problems, due to my on problems . Been a while on this threat but thank you for nugging me toward ABS. I got the spray bar tuned in close with bigger holes and smaller pump. Some ripples still but hard to see. I have a auto feeder drawn up with 3 discharge ports for my sized table. With the ABS i ran with GG's fluid bed spects and still have the abs to do the auto feeder. Gluing was not as neat as i would have liked it to be but once it all set up i don't thank it can be pulled apart. Drilled some bad holes in abs but glued plugs back in hole and started over and ended up with very tight tolarance. I want to make the Douglas Creek trip and will know by early to mid June if i can pull it off. My wife may ride out or i may pick her up airport Laramie. The ABS is some fun stuff to work with
