Thanks Andre.  I will be using a 1:1 epoxy that many home builders use here in the States: T-88.

I built a ULF-1 in the 80's (drawings n°56) in France and used an epoxy glue (2 components) made by Ciba (Swiss C°), brand name : "Araldite", standard curing time type, not the "rapid" one.During all tests I made, the Member 60 and/or the plywood broke, never the glue joints. You can even glue steel and aluminium on Member 60.Drawback : when applying pressure, be careful ; the glue being very "oily", the parts have a tendency to subrepticely slip when you get away and think that all is well...This glue is still on sale in France, and probably in the rest of the world, at your nearest hardware shop.
