Mega poxy is also used in compressed fibre cement facade sheetings on buildings.
Were talking 9mm concrete sheets nearly at 10-20 stories high


I can get for you through my work (CSR) at trade.


1 litre kit comes in two containers you mix together.

Trade $30.00

Sikaflex is what we used to use on the formula ford, assume you are also going to plce washers under each rivet as this also helps strengthen join and slows fretting of your panel.

Bill I have used 8115 3M panel bonding adhesive here on a few projects to good effect.

Yup, was going to suggest this also.
Major car manufacturers are starting to use this stuff to lower prices.

Hi Bill sikaflex & simpson are good we use these on buss,s from gluing floor down , alum & fiberglass sides , plastic ect you dont need to use rivets , the only time i have seen it let go is the surface was not prept corectly , use the cleaner & primer to suit .... their is different grades & you can get tubes to suit silicone gun ....

oh & if you have to remove the pannel at any time you will destroy it as this stuff is 100% better than sh*## on a blanket .....
