   Iirc, some of the early Firefly decks were riveted on - aluminium sheeting instead of ply!

	The glue used in the hull lay up was an evil compound that stained your hands yellow.....(gloves? What were they?) D

	TBH, I'd forgotten about Aerolite 306, but that was what we use on the boats (we did use cascomite for other projects at home). But there are several references on the web to Fairey's using Cascomite or Borden 'One Shot' and I didn't find any referring to them using Aerolite...

	Now that's sounding more COSHH challenging. I know Phenolic resin from the 80's was pretty evil stuff, commonly used on London underground mouldings and other flame retardant applications.

	Continued - it was a resorcinol formaldehyde glue. The closest available to cold cure today is cascophen, but the hot cure glue was a little different. I used to know the name.

	It was a formaldehyde glue, Phenol, I believe, though memory is weak. Whatever cascophen isn't, which may sound odd. I'll see if sleeping on it helps.
