There is no doubt that capstrips can make for a stronger bond than the approximately 5/8 inch flox-fit Hysol bond (the older airplanes, like mine, used a 3-M fuel-proof structural bonding agent). However, my airplane doesn't leak fuel and hasn't come apart yet in spite of the abuse I've heaped on her. Joint preparation and cleanliness are the most important factors regardless of the close-out technique.
