Can anyone suggest a suitable glue for the construction of Al honeycomb 
panels with Al skins. The operating environment is the same as that of a 
car. A glue that doesn't need temperatures above 200 C would be best.

Thanks in advance,
	Stu.

A suitable solution to would be FM300, produced (I think) by American Cyanimid.
Another product that is essentially the same thing is fabicated by 3M;I can't
remember the product number. These products have brothers and sisters in the
same line that have different material properties (shear modulus, cure temp,
hydroscopic tendancies, etc...). You might be best off contacting these
companies and requesting fact sheets on their whole 'sheet adhesive' line and
then determine the best product for the conditions (including price) that the
sandwich has to deal with. BTW the products are not cheap, but you can sometimes
get samples that cover your needs.

Good luck,
