Building a better adhesive bond
and fiberglass-reinforced plastic sheets are easily bonded with a multistepped lap joint. Bonding edges or sdes to the panel adds strength and keeps moisture out. Metals such as mild steel are easily bent or folded to form strong joints. Examples range from the simplest (a lap joint) to more complex

Plastic Bearings
includes a support backing of filament-wound fiberglass which is epoxy bonded. This filament-wound material can carry static loads to 25,000 psi. Design approach is similar to plain metal bearings except for lubrication provisions. As a class, PTFE bearing materials are a little more forgiving of rough

Fast Bike
Epoxy bonding can be a quick means of throwing together structural parts when you need a fast prototype. The prototype suspension-equipped mountain bike frame is made from carbon and Kevlar laminates bonded with West System epoxy resin. The suspension system is a free-floating design that doesn't
