Default C5 Panel Bonding

What kind of adhesive works best to put the inner fenders back on the front of a C5?

We ran out of material to rivet, so now I've got complete unmolested inner fenders.

I never knew what they looked like before.

The other stuff that's also used is the 3M 08115. Probably the same as the SEM. I used it to bond some aluminum sheet to the under side of my spliter/undertray and rockers. Stuff works great, really strong.

I got the first couple of tubes online but ran out and found the local O'Rielys auto parts kept it in stock. Was a bit more expensive, but I was able to buy it on the spot and finish the job before my track day the next day.

If you use either of those, you're going to need the dispenser gun.
