    bonding adhesive for 79

    Hi,

    I have a question about the type of bonding adhesive I should use in the repair of a 79 body.

    I tried to purchuse some correct type bonding adhesive in the US, but they would not ship it, since it is hazardous. Over here (Europe) nobody seems to know which type to use... Basically I would like to know what composition to look for.

    Thanks

    Yves

    Yves,

    You are going to need a bonding material that is compatable with SMC which is Sheet Molded Compound. Earlier Corvettes used Polyester Resin but sometime about 73 the compound changed to SMC.

    3M makes several adhesives for bonding the panels on the SMC Corvettes and they should be available in Europe. Check with a body shop and they should be able to steer you in the right direction.

    Regards,

    JR

      Most any epoxy compound with a puddy like consistency will do just fine. Some epoxys do not finish well, so you might want to use a very good quality polyester for that.
