Thread: Attaching hood scoop ???

I think it was just last month I was browsing at the magazine rack and all the maxim magazines were taken so I had to look at damn hot rods and muscle cars. Anywho, one of them had an article about a new product they tested. Sorry I can't tell you more about it because I just glanced at the article quickly, but it must do somewhat the same thing as the towel trick streets mentioned. Its a material you apply around the area you are welding, I believe it had sponge in the name ??? Anyways the magazine testing it said they were real skeptical of it, but they turned up the heat 3 times what was needed and burned holes in the metal and it stopped the distortion. They tried one side without it and the other side with it, and the side they didn't put you could see the heat traveled way out by the color of the metal and the side they applied it to it stopped where the material was applied. Did you ever consider using one of the panel adhesives like they hold bedsides, door skins ect on with. Seems to me that would eliminate distortion and corrosion. I would think use the adhesive and if you feel the need also spot weld it on in some spots. fusor, 3m (duramix), usc, all make them.
