Default RE: B-24 Build

Here are some pictures of the areas where I'm getting some failures. I have the Precision Cut Kits laser cut B-24 Don Smith. The failures are where the 1/8 inch laser cut fuse formers (plywood) are attached to the 1/4 inch balsa keel. The clean joints are with Elmer's and the dark residue is from Titebond. Frankly at this point I'm not against even taking a lot of time and using epoxy or am I adding too much weight? Most blogs say that they use epoxy only where there are areas of high stress or fuel in the area. And since this isn't in areas where you would see it anyway, I don't mind going back to Titebond.

Thanks
