Oh my God!

I built my 320 from 1989 to 1996 using the procedure of lacquer thiner
(grease/wax/finger-print removal), acetone (hardware store grade), sand,
acetone, and finally bond.  The wipes were done with paper towel, frequently
changed to not wipe the contaminant around on the surface.  This was done on
each and every joint of a slow-build, no-capstrip constructed aircraft thats
been flown to VNE and back and sometimes loaded to 1960 lbs gross -- no
failures or delaminations yet.  No fuel leaks, delaminations in the nose gear
tunnel at the actuator attach point and no delamination of the main gear
over-center to spar attachment point -- Of course, I have no
quality-controlled fast build parts either.

So, I have prepared myself for everything to fall apart during the next
flight, hard landing, or prop strike because of my totally incompetent
assembly process.

Reagent grade acetone.  Really!
