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

Like a Torsten said, if the bonded join is safety relevant, use some type of mechanical joint for sure. From the long time usage point of view, the water and UV is killer for epoxy.
