Has anyone had any good or bad experiences using Fusor Metal Adhesives? I'm considering using it to bond my outer longs on and the long clamshells on. Then using structural rivets to prevent the unzippering effect of the bonded surfaces.

Pros I've read
1. Metal adhesives shear strength is greater than spot welds or the sheet metal being bonded.
2. Provides corrossion protection on surfaces being bonded (bonded surface)
3. No warping of metals, unlike welding.

Cons I've read
1. Bonded surfaces can unzip, which is why a spot weld or rivets ar needed along bonded seam.
2. Don't let it get into areas that you don't want bonded or filled.

Any thoughts are appreciated.
