Glue

I have seen some builders use Titebond III to assemble wing ribs in place of T88. Any comments. I am getting ready to build my ribs.

I have read the same thing, Here is my thinking, you will be using T-88 for other structural members so why not use it for everything to ensure proper bonding and every possible connection, Like others have said you can use any glue you like, just make some test bonding and hit it with a hammer and see what happens and what is your comfort level, this is something that it is ultimately up to you to decide, Its your butt in the seat several hundred feet above in the air.

I used Titebond 3 for all my ribs and it is a great glue, Much easier to use than epoxy when doing fiddly stuff like this and the gussets (oh those gussets). If you do it like Leonard does in the video you will be just fine, use a small paint brush to get 2 well wetted surfaces and you will get a good bond
