adhesives for long stiffeners, "glueing stiffeners on" Options

[charliew]

I know we don't build horse trailers but glueing structures and panels on makes a stronger structure and it's a lot easier and cleaner and seals better. Scroll down and read about the trailer doors.

It looks like fusor is the brand name used in the local auto body supply places around me.

I've been reading, it looks like if you ever did want to remove a "glued on" piece it is removable with high heat just like the anerobic thread lockers, ie seperate it after heating, and scrape the residue off.

It also looks like a acrylic is the best one for my application.

I covered two of my painted plywood deer stands several years ago with painted steel I bought from a local metal building supplier. It was off of big rolls of painted steel intended for the sheets of r or u panel that goes on metal buildings. I just had them shear the sheets the sizees I wanted. I screwded and glued it with NP1, a urethane caulk. I used corners on the edges. You cannot seperate it without destroying the metal at the seams. Of course this isn't a car but I bet the np1 would even work on the 914. I also used it for seam sealer on my jeep truck but it did shrink and the paint cracked where the np was in the seam like in the roof gutters. But the np1 didn't crack.
