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
Massimiliano

Methyl methacrylate adhesives may be better for your application because it allows for expansion and contraction of different bonded materials better then epoxy
Epoxy may be to inflexible and brittle which leads to cracks and bond failure.

Methacrylate adhesives are used to glue windscreens to metal car bodies for example without any special keying of surfaces, the only problem may be low grade stainless steel
