Hi guys!

for Q1,  the type of adhesive to use depends on the end application. What you are bonding together, what environment its in, type of stress its under, structural/non-structural parts etc etc etc.    If you look here: EC shop adhesives section you will see there is a number of different adhesives for different purposes.    You need to look for one that best suits your needs and if necessary ask for some advice from the team on here.  Im sure they will be able to advise what adhesives might suit your needs.

for Q2, again it depends on the application.  depending on the application will determine the type of core material used, the number of layers of carbon/laminates etc etc etc  The specification for a structural part of the tub would be totally different to a light body panel for example.

Q1: I already purchased one of each type, I meant in more general terms. Say I want a semi rigid adhesive, is the standard glues we use the strongest?

call up a manufacture of adhesives like permabond and have a chat with them about your application they will know exactly what they are talking about and they have a lot of experience. Structural adhesives are a very specific thing there are many different working environments/conditions that certain adhesives are specifically designed to deal with.

Paul or Matt from the staff said in a previous post that he would use structural polyurethane between two composites, and epoxy to bond composite to metal or aluminium.

If it can help in any way...
