firberglass adhesive?

I just noticed the bottom of the outter door skin on my '77 is loose......
Is there an adhesive I could use to reattach this? Or will I needed to bond it with fiberglass? If fiberglass, any suggestions on which products are good better best - cheap moderately priced or expensive as heck?

It doesn't seem to be a problem just a little noisey when I close the door.

If you just need to stick the panels back together, 3M 8115 dual component epoxy works very well. Problem with that is you gotta buy the dispensing gun $$$. You could probably work some kitty hair or fiberglass panel adhesive in the cracks and clamp and it should hold it and those materails are not real expensive.

Or you could get some J-B weld. It is a small quantity for a small job.

Fiberglass, firberglass. fibbergraass, ect.. They are are made the same from the same material. The difference is how fast you type.

Bondo makes a product called Bondo Glass. It's pretty much the same as factory bonding adhesive, and you'll get a quart for less than the price of 3 tubes of JB weld,which is great stuff, but save it for the "impossible" repairs.
