Status: offline 		Gentlemen,
What glue or adhesive works best for joining fuselage halves. Does one work better for fiberglass or composites or they about the same?
Thanks for your time.

Status: offline 		Without getting too technical. Fibreglass is cloth. Fibreglass cloth is impregnated with resin, be it polyester or epoxy. The result is a composite structure. Only certain adhesives will adhere to the aforementioned cured resin/cloth structure. To answer the original question the resin used for the structure has to be known.

I am trying to be helpfull here.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the respose guys. It looks like I need a little more information before I can narrow my question down.
When I receive the plane I will have a better idea of what I'm dealing with.

Thanks again, I appreciate you guys taking the time to respond.
