Metal/wood adhesive?

[Jfox1095]

So I'm working out the kinks in my current design at the moment, and I came across an issue I am not familiar enough with to be comfortable so I came to ask you guys.

I am building with a metal frame, and I was wondering what kind of glue or sealant would I use to seal my wood panels to my frame. On my last build I used all wood, which allowed me to just use epoxy and paint.

My plan currently is to use 2" square tubing for the main portions of the frame and then laying smaller square tubing the thickness of my insulation centered on the 2". The plan is to have the thickness of my inner and outer wood panel of the wall plus the insulation match the 2" giving the metal framed wood appearance.

My question is what do I use to seal up where I attach my wood to my metal.

Gorilla, polyurethane glue like PL Premium, many epoxies like Loctite, West's Six10

Not sure if this is available in the states but I can honestly say once you use ''ct1'' on any of your builds or indeed anywhere you will never use anything else ever again
It's claims seem far fetched if you've never come across it before but they are genuine

Gorilla glue. Holy crap. The stuff is amazing. Get it in caulking gun form at the Homeless Despot or Rob Lowes.

Big ol' hatch. What's the weight?

Uh, a lot. 150-200? Took three of us to get it on there.
Haven't gotten any pistons or springs on it yet, but I can still hulk it open by myself.

Only downside is the messy 3x expansion. Can be handy with large gaps to fill, but spillage needs to be handled quickly, warm soapy rag as it's foaming, before it starts to set.

Acetone is the only solvent afterwards, and that can be very nasty on the surrounding surfaces, best avoided completely if possible.

I previously used Liquid Nails to join wood or plastic to metal (on the underside of trunk-mounted fuel cells), to reduce vibration loosening them from the straps. but, after awhile, it proved not flexible enough. When building my TTT, I used PL Premium on all seams, inside and out, of my superstructure, and where the frame and cabin met. Unless I remove the cabin, I'll never know how well it joined wood and steel together, so it's a moot point. But, when I joined my metal window frames to the cabin, I used OSI Quad sealant, and it is still flexible to this day, after 5 years of Texas heat. I keep a tube handy, in case I need a quick seal, even on my house. Good stuff.
