Is this like a 2 part epoxy thing and in what industry is it most commonly used ? Construction, wood shop or metal working like machining. Is that a particular brand ?

They have a distributor locator on their web site. Just type in your zip code and a local shop should come up.

Sorry 'bout all the questions, I run a tool rental store and thought I could help. I've heard of similar tools for other industries but that's not one I'm familiar with.

You might check 3M products. We used two-part
epoxy in joined cartridges while I worked in the aerospace industry. We
had the equivalent of pneumatic chaulking guns that accepted the twin
cartridges. We purchased the guns from 3M. Hope this helps.

I actually I had a Hilti dual dispenser in my hand today at the jobsite. Won't work though. Thanks Jim!
Hey Scott, years ago when I worked on aircraft they only used rivets, cloth and dope!
Do you remember the 3M material type number you bought?

I called the local dist. but the gun costs $$$. Something I am limited with.
Thanks Steve!


C3VR is where it's at!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel your pain. Just about all of the adhesive manufacturers have their own gun. If you buy their mix, you then are locked into the gun specific for that material. This holds true in construction adhesives as well. Some use a "sausage" pack, others use a 2 tube configuration. Even the mixing nozzles are brand specific. The other, less costly option is to go back to the old fashioned way and use the can mix. Evercoat makes a bonding adhesive, I used Bailey's. Be careful, some are just for the SMC panels and others will only work on glass panels. The SMC adhesive will work on glass, but the glass panel adhesive will not work on SMC. The SMC bonding mix has a slower cure time which can be an advantage for fitting panels. You can even fashion a tube much like the way cake decorators do to "squirt" the mix where you need it, this is actually the way restorers used to do it before the mixing guns were available.
Feel free to email me if you need a little more help.

What I am about to embark on seems to be an open issue and that's OK.

The old rusted header bar (channel) behind the headlights un-bonded itself. I bought a new one to re-bond. I think you hit it right by going back to the can mix! Thanks Daveb12.

Still open to suggestions.
Keep in mind, the steel header bar is riveted to a bonding strip which in turn is bonded to the surround panel. I would recommend replacing the rivets and then rebonding to the surround. If the header bar is too rusted, it can be replaced, several vendors offer them.
