Great project. I can't believe you use glue to assemble! I've never heard of that glue...how does it compare to JB Weld?

It is possible to put this in the oven for 7 min on 150 degrees the glue get stronger when you heat it up , up to 3000n/cm2.
If you have to glue another part to the part that is glued the glue will stay strong. dont overheat or leave the parts longer than 7 min in the oven.
after the glue cooled off you can sand it drill in it and paint it.
It is not possible to powder coat the glue.
I used the glue on al my models and some are 8 years old and no problems.
I dont have the option to weld or solder the Aluminium so this glue is perfect.
