: If you decide to use epoxy as some have recommended above, I'd put in a vote
: for West Sys G/Flex - it does have a lot of flex once cured, and is
: intended to be used to glue dissimilar materials. I've had good results
: with it, although not in this application.
Funny thing is, with very thin glue lines, which is what you'll have, West resin with their 207 special hardener has almost the same flex as G/Flex. I've got a test sample that I made 3 years ago that gets flexed by just about everyone in the shop and it's still extremely flexible with what has to be something like 10,000 cycles on it and no fatigue losses at all, but it's very thin, single ply 4 ounce glass. Done thicker the layup loses a much higher percentage in flexibility.
