Default Glue the front clip back on

Forum members,

I'm getting ready to glue my Front Clip back on and have a question. What glue would be good to use so that I would have enough working time to get it lined up and in the correct position before the glue starts to set? Might need about 30 to 45 minutes.

Thanks for any answers or comments.

Ron

I like 3M 8115 for about 60-90 minutes of time, WESCO will let you borrow the required 3M application gun too.

I have used FUSOR on 2 front clips. Had plenty of time to work the fit & do all the clamping. The store I bought it from let me use their gun both times.
