Panel adhesive
I have a small piece I would like to bond...I don't really want to buy a gun and big tube for this...it will be for one time use...
is the syringe type (eastwood Replacement No Weld Panel Adhesive Item #31087) worth the trouble? Here is what I have....it's the mount for my overhead radio enclosure...I plan on using screws to hold it where it mounts above the mirror..it's where the mount will contact the roof that im wanting to bond....(or is this a bad idea?)...it's a single thickness roof....or any better suggestions... Blue area is where I'm wanting to use bond agent...yellow area is where it will be screwed overhead of mirror....since it'll never be removed ,i may bond above mirror(yellow section) with a couple screws as well... looking at bottomside....

Re: Panel adhesive
Evercoat adhesives use a regular cartridge gun that you can buy at a the hardware store for a few bucks.

Re: Panel adhesive
Brian is 100% correct if you insist on bonding, but I'm wondering why you'd need to bother if you're screwing it into place.

Re: Panel adhesive
Thanks Brian...I've asked for evercoat products before locally and i always get a blank stare...its not readily available in my area, I've been having to order the evercoat filler I've been using...any one of those in particular on the page you listed?.....
Stomper...I'll lay it out for you...without the adhesive the screws in the sheetmetal would be the only thing holding it up...I'm afraid with the weight of the bracket,box,and radio that over time it would stress the sheetmetal where the screwed down section is....and or rattle at every bump... Here's a sketch showing how it's mounting... the red mark is the roof panel... you can see where the section is where the screws will go...not much there to be holding up the weight..

Re: Panel adhesive
Do you use just a regular caulking gun ? I thought the panel adhesive was a 2 part.

Mongocanfly, now understand, I have never used these adhesives. I use a commercial brand where I work but have used many other Evercoat products for years and they are ALWAYS top notch. I will often say that if Evercaot made TV's I would buy one, they are a first class company. This adhesive description is just like the ones I use and I have to believe they would be as good. http://www.evercoat.com/product-deta...ber/100816/us/ In todays lawyer filled world they wouldn't be telling you to use this to bond a roof skin or quarter panel on unless they KNEW it could handle it. And that is MILES above what you are doing, so I would feel perfectly fine using it. Brian
