I have a new front end coming for my 62.
I'm used to fiber-glassing everything, but have used SEM 39747 dual-mix panel adhesive for metal to fiberglass. 90 min work time and it sticks rather than runs...
Would this me a good panel adhesive for bonding strips, etc?
Or any specific recommendations?

I also hear good things about West System six10 thickened epoxy adhesive.

3M panel bond 8115 works very well.

I was just reading an old post about 3m 8115 and 8219.
They all look workable. I have the gun already for the 3m

The 8115 is very good to work with. You get a stable work time, and unlike the old style bonding adhesive, you can clamp (if you need to) tight, and still get the same strength. Older bonding required a minimum of 1/4" material (glue) to get full bonding strength.

I find myself using 3M 8115 anytime I need to bond something, used it for my '67 front end, worked great, 90 min work time which is nice when you are doing it by yourself.

Lord Fusor 127EZ also good. 60 minute working time.

8115 can also be heat cured.

I ended up getting SEM 39747. I have used it in the past for metal to fiberglass.
I spoke to an industrial fiberglass manufacturer here in Phoenix. He said I could use it for fiberglass to fiberglass too. I had a few tubes of it left over here at the house. It is pretty thick and should work with a similar work time ad the 3m 8115.
