CTMI Posted May 9, 2017 Report Posted May 9, 2017 The black trim around the edge of the baggage compartment of my plane is falling off from time to time. I'd like to epoxy it back but want to be sensitive of the composite structure. I have some west system epoxy, but that seems slightly overkill. Any recommended adhesives that are composite and foam core friendly? Quote
Anticept Posted May 10, 2017 Report Posted May 10, 2017 Trim, as in the edge protector, or the decals? Quote
Tom Baker Posted May 10, 2017 Report Posted May 10, 2017 I would have to check mine, but if it is like the trim around the door it has a metal insert molded inside. If that is the case you can remove it and reset the gripping tension. To do that you can lay it on a wood block and smash it closer together with a mallet. Just don't go overboard and smash it flat like a pancake. Quote
CTMI Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Posted May 11, 2017 Oh! That's great news and much easier. I'll go look at it and try that. Thankyou!!! Quote
