I did take a look at your post before. kinda amazing how strong the stuff is on a straight pull anyway. not sure if it would peel if not drawing straight on. that said though, a spot weld would tear off given that same apples to apples comparison.
when the factory does the spot weld and bonding combination they must use some sorta special bonding compound so the spot weld still works but the adhesive doesn't burn. I wondered that the last time I "disassembled" a floor at a seam.
thanks for the info. prolly uise the 3m stuff because the other stuff is almost the same price anyway. I will see what the bodyshop supply place tries to promote and go from there.
how was the move, are you there yet? truck assembled? nothing like a move to get you going on the assembly ahead of other important things in life eh?

I am in Idaho and EVERYTHING in my life is at a stand still right now. Can't wait to get back to the truck!
