silkaflexmake sure you clean the area and rough it up slightly to get the best adhesion





Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

I did two things on mine.
1) I drilled the side wall of the wing and sent the bar through, not under the lip.
2) Once the bar is glued and set inside the wing, I used aluminium mesh to glue over the bar and increase the area contact with the wing. I smeared glue all over and through the mesh.

1 year and no sign of them coming off.
