I'm adding flap gap seals to my 2+2 wing and I would rather not attach with wood screws as they could work loose. I will be covering the gap seal with fabric as part of the wing fabric covering process. I would like to bond the aluminum to the wing along the entire top (3/4" aluminum to wood) and where the radius contacts the cove. The entire cove will be covered with fabric prior to covering the top and bottom of the wing. The inside corner of the cove and the 1/8" skin has a wedge shaped piece of spruce running the entire length of the cove so pulled rivets are out. What are the thoughts of bonding something like this together using T88 glue? Thanks
