Spar gluing

Anyone know of any downfalls to using liquid nails to glue spars together?
And yes, I expect the usual ignorant smart asses, who really don't have an answer.

Liquid Nails isn't much on shear strength and it's pretty thick when applied.

I built a bird feeder with liquid nails. It lasted six months and then fell
apart.

I used only Liquid Nails and a smile.....
to hold 2 x 4 foot sheet styrofoam panels of
insulation to my raw concrete basement walls.
None of it rests on the floor for support.

No idea how long it will stay glued.......
it's only been up 20 years to date without
a single panel coming loose.

That doesn't really surprise me. The solvent in
the liquid nails probably melted the styrofoam a
bit creating a good bond. Those panels are not
subjected to any significant stresses, certainly
no aerodynamic stresses nor do I imagine, does
your basement get as warm as an aircraft on a
hot day in teh sun. Probably not much exposure
to moisture or cold temperatures either.

Besides, those panels didn't weigh dick in the
first place.

For spars *I* would only use epoxy or a urethane glue
like Gorilla glue. Resourcinol glue, used in boat
building might be good too.

I suggest that you only rely on something that
a siginifacnt number of other folks have used
and survived. Learn from other people's mistakes.

You've got my vote, Fred.

However, there is a core of wannabees hell bent on
re-inventing the wheel in some ridiculous manner, at
least with their keyboards most every day - all under the
guise of *EXPERIMENTING*. Anyone that poo-poos
their nutty notions without great care are labeled as
anti-experimenters or worse and are subject to very
hostile and denigrating attacks. You know the drill...

You got to remember that your panels are basically supported by the
glue in a shear situation. Even kids white glue will do pretty good in
shear.

When you put things in peal you get a different result so don't lead
the neophytes astray.

Bob, you got to remember that some of the young'uns don't have any
experience with the hot hide glues like they used to build the
