Is it
foam, primer, glue, canvas?
or foam, glue, canvas?

I think we had a whole thread on that and it was inconclusive to what worked.

(And I question calling it a "poor" man's alternative to fiberglass.)
A lot of the traditional products are no longer made.

And thus my point. Folks are experimenting to find suitable products to make PMF work. How many years ago did you test adhesives for your PMF build?
Perhaps experimental is too harsh of a word. But I think that's what it is. Here's an experimental aircraft I built:
A superb airplane that flew great on a EA-81 Subaru engine. (and is still flying under different ownership)
I'm not using experimental as a derisive word.
