C1 - Bonding Adhesive

[Ted S.]

I was looking at Eckler's site and they offer two different bonding adhesives for the C1s, their original and "restoration". It looks like the restoration version only comes in a gallon can and I only at most a quart. Is the color the difference between the two? What color is their "original" version? I assume the restoration is a dark gray, is that correct? Thanks in advance

I believe Evercoat Corvette Panel adhesive is grey and comes in quarts.

Bair's Corvettes offers a good, black bonding adhesive in quarts.

Eckler's sell their "original" formula in a quart size, so getting a quart isn't the problem. I would like the bonding adhesive to match the original '58 adhesive in color. Are there other bonding adhesives that match the color/consistency besides the "restoration" bonding adhesive Eckler's sells?

The one I mentioned from Bair's matches the original adhesive used in '67, I don't know about other years.

Buy the black bonding adhesive and purchase white coloring agent for fiberglas from a marine dealer to correct the color.
