CTMI Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anticept Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Trim, as in the edge protector, or the decals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Baker Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTMI Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Oh! That's great news and much easier. I'll go look at it and try that. Thankyou!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
