Can't go wrong with 3m but honestly, I have used all the big brands and they do the job.

Just so you know, this is getting more and more common with the auto manufacturers. Did you know that BMW has guidelines to splice a frame rail with out a single weld or bolt using adhesive? How about quarter panels, splice joints on the B and C pillar even, not a single weld, bonding in a backing, done deal.

Here is a little post I made on my 10 year old son (now 22!) and his science project.
