Title: Fiberglass to Metal bonding adhesive
Post by: ardillo lambo on February 23, 2015, 07:44:05 AM

Hi Cloners

I would like to bond permanently fiberglass parts (rocker panels area) to some sheet metal to gave more support to the body. that sheet metal will be bolted to the chassis.

Anyways I was looking on some threads for an adhesive flexible but strong just to avoid any issues in fast temp changes. Some people mention "Fusor Adhesive" some other mention Windshield black urethane from 3M, nobody point out the 3M part number (at least on what I read). Can someone out there point out that part number for the 3M stuff.

Which one is the most recomended among the cloners, any issues found over time ????

Also, this video has some good info about mounting the body to the chassis in general:
