If I have an aluminum skinned, aluminum honeycomb sandwich panel, can I weld a part to the skin? I'm not interested in a full length bead, just a few tack beads to locate a support beam. I'm concerned that the heat of welding (probably GTAW or GMAW) might be deleterious to the adhesive used to bond honeycomb to skin, or possibly warp/melt the honeycomb inside. Any advice or experience WRT welding metal sandwich panels would be helpful. TIA.
