John,

I used Gorilla Glue brand (http://www.gorillatough.com/) - available over here at almost any home improvement store.

It seems to cure fairly quickly (a couple of hours) to the point where its finished foaming and feels dry to the touch. However, I left it overnight on the wing skins with the weights on.

One of my wing panels had somehow warped (probably from hanging around the shop for a year before I got back on the project) and I wanted to be sure it was really cured before I took the weight off least the warp come back. An overnight cure with the weights and the panel is dead straight and stiff as a board...
