What is that stuff you used instead of welding a patch, does it hold up is it some type of glue, looks like a nice clean patch.






I used some 3 M Panel Bonding material- it is supposed to be as strong as welding as long as the part is not structural. I like it since I prefer not to weld and the patches were small. This is used in auto shops but I got mine on eBay. If you prep correctly (grind, sand, clean, and degrease) it is supposed to last forever and even comes with a lifetime warranty. The applicator gun costs $150 so instead I made a dual plunger out of scrap wood (seen on the right) that I jammed into my $2 caulk gun and it worked fine. I'll post new paint pics when I get'em but I am making slow progress.
