Abstract: A method of joining together two composite honeycomb panels each having internal cellular structure wherein related bores are formed in the respective panels with at least one of said bores extending entirely through its panel, the panels are placed in tightly abutting relation with the bores in alignment, a hollow tubular fastener is inserted through the one bore to project into and along the aligned bores, and fluent anchoring glue type adhesive is forced into the fastener so that some of the adhesive extrudes from within the fastener through side apertures to randomly occupy adjacent space in the cellular structures of both panels, and the anchoring adhesive is hardened in situ; and the resultant coupled panel assembly.
