Any suggestions for a glue to temporarily hold in place composite wing ribs to a composite wing skin? I am fitting in new composite landing gear mounts and ribs in my ME262 and want to be able to fit and bench test prior to Hysol adhesive for life.

All accords what you are sticking it to, if its a carbon or fibre glass inner skin then small dabs of hot glue may work and when you want to take them out a gentle heat with a covering gun should loosen them enough to be removed, but be carefull if the inside is a Hyrex sandwitch, excess heat may damage the Hyrex, this is only a suggestion and I have never tried it so its all suposition on my part.

in a situation as you're describing i use thick CA and kicker to tack the parts in place.

Some type of silicone adhesive or E-6000 would work.

Chinese bird nest spit (like being used in the Formost 150) ? Sorry, I really could not resist the question !! LOL

So that is the mystery adhesive used in Chinese ARF's.

Yop, as KC said a 'tack' of thick CA... I've used a lump of PlayDoh a couple of times in certain conditions.

I would advise the CA...hot glue, silicone and others may leave a residue that would affect the hysol bond later.

I have used pacer Zap a Dap a Goo 2 for this. It peels right off most things afterwards.
