FYI the Itw Plexes glue is holding some of the parts of your 747 together as we speak. It better be good eh. 
A non Canadian using "eh" properly ! Good for you ! Must be your proximity to the border. I've heard of incompatabilties between polyester fuses and epoxy being used for formers. Good reason for using the Aeropoxy. Adhesive bonding is being used more and more for full size aircraft structures. Just as an aside, PPG makes the windows on our 400's.
in a recent poll is was found that when 747 engines were held on with epoxy they were 99% more likley to drop off at the gate.
I didn't know that !I should have paid more attention in ground school. Well, I'm glad they changed it before I got on the plane. So far no engines dropping off !
