A certain irony, as I recall from the History Channel that one of the biggest problems with the Me-262 was the poor quality of German adhesives.

Sorry, Lonesome, but it was the Heinkel He 162 Volksjager (People's Fighter) that was made from mostly wood that suffered from poor quality adhesives. This was very late in the war when most materials other than wood were in very short supply. Test flights of the 162 had wings and such coming apart.
The 262 was mainly metal construction.
