How good is panel adhesive. Would it be ok to use it to attach a 18 gauge part to 13 gauge. Part is non structural. Buy the rad support.

I've used Fusor to build several kit cars and trucks over the years. Easy to apply, great tech. support from Lord.

I like to use it on factory seams, it seals them up perfectly. Clean the metal then put a scratch pattern on it, just like using filler. It can be used on two different gauge metals, or two different types of metal. But once cured, the bond can be killed with 350 degrees heat, so you can't weld within 2 inches of an adhesive bond.

I use the stuff too
Depends on what type of the repair is used but the stuff does have its place in my arsenal.
It does have its limits in what can be done with it and definite repair types that it work's best with.
