i have not found any evidence that it has been done. why not?
how much easier would it be to epoxy glue some carbon in certain areas than to weld. at least if you dont have a big shop. (if i start welding in my garage, the whole house stinks for a week.) so is this a crazy idea or has anybody done it? supposedly it would save weight too. is it just too expensive, maybe? thanks for any opinions, before i research this further. |

I suspect it is simply more difficult to do right. Adhesion is one thing, but if clean, the metal and epoxy should bond. And then there is shape - if I was going to the trouble I would want to design ribbed structures for strength. Might be hard to know which shapes to do though. Good luck. |
