Hi, in general, when it is better to use one or another?
On my specific case, I need to bond stainless steel to carbon fiber panel.
Appearance is not important.
The bond has to resist pull force, pull shocks, salt water.
UV resistance is desired but the part could be coated for UV protection so no big deal.

Thanks

Araldite 2015 is not a bad choice here. Neither is an MMA. Using either of these adhesives, I would expect laminate failure before adhesive failure. Personally I would use the 2015.

Thank you.
