66 hood adhesive for support brackets
I noticed that the adhesive used to attach the hood deck to the support structure on the engine side of my 66 coupe has failed. Several of the attachment points in the middle of the hood have become un-attached. I would like to try and force some sort of adhesive in between the two components to re-attach them together. What adhesive is recommended?

Ask your body/paint supply store for hood "gumdrop" adhesive and they'll have a conventional adhesive product for that application.
Don't use a 2-part polyester bond material for the cross-bracing or you can end up with "bond-burn" distortions in the hood outer surface

It was recommended here by John Z.
"Recommended" has nothing to do with "did it first" , "Came up with" ,"invented" and on and on

Loctite vs. DAP
DAP gutter & flashing sealant is now a latex base product. Loctite's S30 roof & flashing is a polyurethane based product. GE's gutter/flashing product is a silicone based product.
I guess staying with a polyurethane product would be best?
