    Let me rephrase about Bob's opinion.

    1st, it's totally true about the glue, you need to know that before you dive in.
    2nd, rivets or nuts, I think it's more personal taste than anything else.

    I hate drilling rivets.
    Others may hate drilling big holes for rivnuts. Rivets are 1/8 to 3/16 holes. Rivnuts are 13/64 to 21/64 for 10/32 and 1/4 bolts. Takes a lot more time too.
    3rd, it's true most of this is it all depends.
