Default RE: Sealing and Painting Balsa

I've seen many good comments here - agree with most of them (about 98%). However, I've got an observation and then a question; you're sheeting the aluminum landing gear - that's great. How do/did you adhere/lock the wood to the aluminum, knowing that landing gear bends/gives and wood doesn't do that well? If you didn't, the wood won't stay there very long without vibrating itself to dust.
