Hi Mike,

I am not familiar with the adhesive you are naming, but I have used a Loctite product, which sounds similar. This I first used about 15 years ago, Loctite used to come to the Workshops and demonstrate new products, the name of this one escapes me now but it was a structural adhesive, I would have to search around for the literature. it was also used in the motor industry, Leyland were using it to secure cab panels, as an example. The guy would stick to pieces of sheet steel together as a lap joint and about half hour later, with two vise grips, he would generally fail to seperate them with out screwing the metal up. The adhesive was in two parts, a spray on activator and a tube of adhesive, from memory, the surfaces did not have to be ultra grease free, which is an asset.

I have used it many times and although expensive, if there was a need for it, it was a good solution to a problem.
