AHA!
I have a piece of Alumalite as we speak. I had it cut in half by my neighbor who is building a small airplane in his garage. (It's nice to have people like this in the neighborhood.) I had thought one was supposed to rough up the Alumalite before applying an adhesive but it sounds like it's not necessary.
I wil post my results as soon as I get around to doing this. Thanks again, Sharon!
