Good job on the video. I usually don’t say much but as someone who has done this a ton of times in the last 15 years, do not do this on a panel that the bonded line will show. It will expand in the heat and you will see a line. Also make sure to cover all bare metal with the bonding material, the bare metal will rust if left raw. This video was done well and the panel bond is hidden by a molding. Anyone thinking of this trust me it is strong as any weld of done right.
@LakesideAutobody3 жыл бұрын
If you make sure the seam is sub surface (knock it down and fill) it wont show. Same with welding, you have to knock the seam down then fill. The biggest mistake is having a seam too close to the surface.

I had a Mustang Grande, back in the 70's. Opened the passenger door to bet a friend in, and the bottom fell off into the snow! (Up in the snow and salt zone!). I repaired it by removing the door and taking it inside my place of work (It was still winter), where I formed a new bottom and welded in place, and finished - worked quite well. Despite using the 'state of the art' Zebart Rustproofing when I purchased the car (new). Worthless guarantee!

He told me about 3M brand and similar coming up with metal bonding adhesives for Nuclear stuff as well as airplanes. He said the aircraft industry was soooo skeptical of metal bonding adhesives and how it took many years for them to catch on. He doesn’t mess around with Internet but, I told him about your panel adhesive methods. He said it should works well within the bounds of budget and time. He said that welding just creates more heat damaged metal on the backside for rust! He said it’s a body, not a frame! Your videos are needed by the world of DIY guys. Good work! Keep it up.

The SEM bonding agent looks to be single stage. The 3M is 2 stage and I’ve heard it is very strong. I’m replacing about 2/3 of a damaged quarter panel on a Cavalier coupe body with a good used one. The horizontal seam is 55” long, so I need a strong bond. I plan on creating a 1/2” flange around the existing body cut line and clamping the glued seams with sheet metal screws. I’ll remove the screws and fill the holes with more panel bond. Then pray that the 3M glue holds tight and the paint won’t crack! Anyone tried this on such a long seam?

Nice job I have a question did you use stainless ribbit . I used aluminum ones with in a year the steal reacted to the aluminum and began to blister . I ended up grinding down the pannell and drilling out the area's an plug welding them an repainting the door
@LakesideAutobody3 жыл бұрын
They are aluminum but the seam was knocked down - that my be the difference. It's been about two years driving in the winter and all is good. You actually don't have to use the rivets. It's OK to fill right over those little 1/8" holes as long as they are knocked down a bit :)

But how to save rest of panel adhesive? Are extra nozzles available?
@LakesideAutobody Жыл бұрын
You can cap it (comes with it) and it does come with one extra nozzle. Or.... you can buy the nozzles in bulk :) Personally, I don't use the nozzles - just squirt it out like JB Weld and mix by hand - as if you are mixing body filler :)

Very good video, but I have one question. The seam would be proud of the original door skin unless you used a flange tool on it. I noticed you tapped it with a hammer along the rivets and the seem. Was this to push the new material down so it didn't end up too high? Sort of a cave & pave? Lol
@LakesideAutobody3 жыл бұрын
Absolutely correct. I've found through years of studying rust repairs that the ones that show through the fastest are the ones where the seam is too close to the surface. Don't be afraid to tap the seam down and fill - It is the most quality repair and right way to do it. The glue is impact resistant so it will accept being knocked down.

The finish product looks good man .. I am more of a weld kinda guy .. just thinking would have been quicker to tack it weld a solid bead grind and sand .. no filler needed. I guess it is all up to the person I've just always felt the wait for the glue to set was the biggest deterrent. I know the glue is strong and that the rivets will hold . I guess I am old fashion

Does the bare metal need a sealer before filler or no ?
@LakesideAutobody9 ай бұрын
It does not. Paint seals everything underneath. Often times (working in a shop) If you were caught putting filler over anything but freshly sanded/grinded metal you'd be in trouble. Here's a video on that topic though for you to decide - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYfLgn-nhaZ6jLc

You prefer welding or gluing?
@LakesideAutobody3 жыл бұрын
Welding has the advantage when you have to fix any rust hole in the world - there's no rust damage that can't be fixed with a welder. Glue is going to be a challenge when it comes to irregular shaped, difficult rust holes. However, I think glue has the advantage when it comes to longevity as there is no question that the seam is permanently sealed and the repair will last as long as a new door - no doubt at all. So... it's best to know all methods because each situation is different and you will use the method that's most efficient and longest lasting for each. Hope that helps a bit :)

With respect that's not true - sorry - have to look out for the folks that want to learn the trade. The cab corner is already a year old (showed in vid) and that was done with JB weld. No lap weld seems ever show up if you knock them down and fill. It's when you grind the welds off and try to metal finish is when the patch will show: See Eastwood’s video as to why body shops don’t butt weld then aggressively grind off the strongest part of the welds, and attempt to metal finish today’s extremely thin metal: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKGrZmOhnZmKZpI
