    and if you can not weld ....it would fall apart too .so what is the point of the test?? i have no problem with a test at a over lap weld test like the glue. i have used glue on many of the new cars skins. but it would be hard to weld them on . it ,s still not welding ......

    If nothing else, posting these results have provided me with some great discussion. Bob, you hit on something no one else has on a number of forums where I posted this. VERY interesting look you have there.

    One thing is for sure, my 10 year old son using this stuff for the first time pulled it off. That tells me that outside of the posibility of product failure (I have to say is very rare) the learning curve was a heck of a lot less than welding!

    And guys, it IS here, it IS holding everything from Fighter jets to hundred plus foot tall tv and radio antennas togther. On MANY factory cars there are bonded in floors, roofs and even frame sections. BMW has a factory recommendation for frame rail replacement where you bond the spliced rail together with not a single weld or bolt. This is in a 2006 5 series!

    I found it interesting, and we plan on doing a few more tests with a Mythbusters FAIL BE DAMNED additude with less bonding area and more welds.
