Epoxy

Racing yachts?   They have a lifespan measured in days, then they are superceded by a new design; a good application for epoxy(quick, cheap, light, expendable and nobody dies by falling from 50,000feet)

As far as the statement on the WWII aircraft....I think someone lied to you.

(My BIG complaint on this list is that someone hears some urban legend/half-truth then repeats it as if it were fact)

  In WWII when an aircraft came in with a shot up wing? They'd cut it off 
  clean, epoxy the new one on, re-route control cables, fuel and ammo 
  ducts - and take off the next morning for more high altitude 
  hell-raising.

  Round the world composite yacht racers? Epoxied together - and you can 
  imagine how much punishment they take 24/7 day after day.

  Don't underestimate the power of the resin!
