Default Body Glue

I'm reattaching the rear body panel on my 90 Convertible. What's used to glue the body panels together. Thanks

A 2 part epoxy made by Lord chemical is used to bond smc panels. It is available from Ecklers and you local auto body paint supplier.

You can use any 2 part adhesive made for SMC. Fiberglass-Evercoat has one available in quart cans that you mix together. 3M , Lord Fusor, SEM and many others come in a siamese tube that mixes in the applicator tip when dispensed with a special gun. Some body shop supply stores will loan you the gun when you buy the adhesive.
