Hi,

I have been looking the web for an aremco product - Epoxy Bond 568 and I have been unsuccessful in finding a UK based supplier. Your company popped up so I thought i'd ask the question as to whether it is something that you can supply or possibly supply an equivalent or similar product?

Alternatively if you know of anywhere I can find this product, UK based, or similar products and you could let me know I would be very grateful.

Thanks.

Danny

LOL well yes it does, but that means in the auto repair industry. the "skin" of a unibody car is not technically structure. one has to keep the parts joined
with the best type of joining procedure. even autos like the high tech Audi a8 being all aluminium, it is made and held together with, get this--Lord Fusor adhesive with stainless steel rivets , holding aluminium panels and structure together. Audi recommends 3m 8115 for repairs in the bodyshops that are authorized to do them. everything is specially coated for corrosion/dis similar metals issues. every panel you cut into has either spot welds or rivets and adhesive joining the parts.
  the 3m sales pitch is when they bond auto sheet metal in a lap joint,and use frame straightening rack to pull it apart (ten tons of force) and the high strength steel rips but the joint doesnt fail. cool stuff!

Hi Scott
Sounds like good stuff. We all have stuff we are used to and like. I use and like a Locktite product called Hysol (I would have to run out to the shop to get the numbers) It is used in aviation to bond fiberglass panels. At room temp it takes about 6 days to cure completely but is solidified overnight. Can be speeded up with heat for a quicker cure. I have tested it and the carbon panel fails before the glue does. I pigment it with black epoxy pigment so the seams don't show. It sands just like the panel you bond with it. On our side of the pond Aircraft Spruce is where I get it. Is pricey but worth it.
Hope this helps.
