When I saw this glue up I was shocked to say the least. I have worked on composite bonding implementations like this and absolutely nothing about it was done correctly. First the epoxy was mixed by hand which is going to lead to uneven unrepeatable mixing of adhesive and activator. Also it was never degassed after mixing meaning it would be full of small voids. Then application was done by hand in the most slap dash fashion I have ever seen. Then surfaces were just pushed together with no thought to obtaining an even layer of adhesive. All of this was done in a filthy workshop meaning all kinds of contaminents would have been present, some of them weren't even wearing gloves while touching surfaces prior to applying adhesive. In short it was a total mess.
