Our recommend glue for bonding aluminium inserts into the tubes is ET515 Semi Flexible 15min Epoxy Adhesive for applications that involve shock and vibration or VuduGlu™ VM100 Black for other applications. Both glues require a good key on the bonding surfaces and both surfaces to be free from dust and dirt. This is especially the case with the tubes as many will still have traces of release agent from the manufacturing process. Warren Penalver Easy Composites / Carbon Mods - Technical Support Assistant
