Group: Forum Members Posts: 30, Visits: 244	I'm in the process of building a CF mountain bike frame , i made three parts (main triangle , chainstay fork ,seatstay fork ). Now i need an adhesive to glue together those parts as strong as possible . Although i plan to wrap some extra cf around the joints afterwards (for extra support) , i need the initial bond to be super strong .What would be my best option ? Any application advice ? I am in Greece so a EU seller with EU shipping would be great .

(1mm is too much?) I guess it would be ok at my post curring temperature at 70C .

The key to the process, is having a nice clean bond area and using a bit of clamping force to keep it together whilst the bond cures.

Does 9323 produce a stronger bond than VM100, or is it unnoticeable at my level of construction?
