Re: [FWDLK] 3-M Panel Adhesive

I took an auto body course a few years ago and the shop teacher swore by
this stuff.  Said it had a higher holding strength than a weld with no
warpage.
I never had a chance to try it, what i learned from the course is to pay
someone else to do it.

Other day I was talking to body/detail shop guy. We were talking about the
warpage problem when welding sheet metal. He said he doesn't weld anymore,
and showed me this 3-M product.  A gun- which resembles a caulking gun - in
which you insert 2 tubes - 1 epoxy and 1 hardener - which mix equally when
you engage handle on gun.  Product available at Carquest.  Checked my local
store - tubes are about $40 (both tubes in 1 pkg) and you can purchase gun
for about $150 or this particular store rents one for $5 a day. 3-M claims,
according to crash tests, this is stronger than welding. Anybody try this?
Sure sounds good.  John Z
