High strength epoxy for trailer skins?
I know that Mercedes and a few other high end car mfgs. are now using epoxy to hold on alot of the high strength steel body seams together. It guards against any worpage and changing of the metal strength due to heat. Has anybody had any experience with epoxy for that kind of application? While I am more prone to welding I was wondering if it would be a viable option for trailer skin, to frame work?

Thanks KOWBOY! Ive got my fingers in a bunch of proto type applications, I am sure that there are some good matchs for some of these epoxys. Especially on the high strength, thin metal skins that are never supposed to be subjected to the heat of any type of weld. Thanks again. Bob

Something else to consider is the 3M VHB tape. In a clean room environment the stuff stays put for sure, the new semi-trailers are being held together with this stuff verses rivets. Just a thought, crazy stuff. I couldn't do it... just seemed to space-age like :hill:
