[QUOTE="lbursell, post: 200979, member: 3905"] Using glue to reinforce a mechanical connection - Yes. Relying only on glue to support my (or someone else's) big butt - No. With a mechanical connection, if it gives way, there will be some kind of warning signs: screws working loose, metal bending, possibly just a little "play" in material that was previously sturdy. If you're paying attention, you can address it before it turns loose completely. With glue only, if it gives way, it will happen with no warning. You're standing there and then you're swimming or have a broken ankle. Gravity always wins. Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
