Has anyone had any good or bad experiences using Fusor Metal Adhesives? I'm considering using it to bond my outer longs on and the long clamshells on. Then using structural rivets to prevent the unzippering effect of the bonded surfaces.
Pros I've read 1. Metal adhesives shear strength is greater than spot welds or the sheet metal being bonded. 2. Provides corrossion protection on surfaces being bonded (bonded surface) 3. No warping of metals, unlike welding. Cons I've read 1. Bonded surfaces can unzip, which is why a spot weld or rivets ar needed along bonded seam. 2. Don't let it get into areas that you don't want bonded or filled. Any thoughts are appreciated. |

Does anyone have any good ideas on a mechanical fasteners that would be cosmetically appealing. I just need ideas on a fastener that has better shear/tensile strength than the sheetmetal on the car. The metal adhesive shear strength is definitely stronger than the sheet metal. Need a fastener that has stronger tensile strength than the sheet metal.
Just looking for a fastener that can be concealed by the trim or one that is appealing if left exposed. I think that the spot weld on a car is god for about 4900 Lbs of froce before the metal around the weld begins to tear. If anyone has good specs on the shear/tensile strength of factory sheetmetal and spot welds that would be very helpful. Thanks |
