Recommend bonding adhesive
I'm going to be bonding some panels back on the '66 roadster in a couple of weeks so I need recommendations on which bonding adhesive to use.
Some folks swear by Ecklers Vette Bond, others swear at it. Same for Corvette Image's product. Some folks have used Evercoat Vette Panel adhesive.
My car will not be judged (except by me!) and the work gets done in sunny Florida if that makes a difference. Which product should I use?

I've used the Evercoat with very good results.

Re: Recommend bonding adhesive (Islander21)
All the ones you have listed work fine. I have used all of them in the past. I like corvette images because it is so thick that is makes it easy to work with. In the old days we made our own, we used resin with fiberglass mat cut up in it and some bondo it give it body. So you see its not a big deal to bond fiberglass panels as long as they are polyester based.Pick one of the products you have listed and you will be fine. Just make sure you grind both panels so you have good tooth and glue that car together.
