Product overview

The 3M Panel Bonding Adhesive 08115 is a two-part epoxy adhesive formulated for structural bonding of automotive body panels. It is commonly used in collision repair and restoration work where welding may not be preferred or possible.

This adhesive is designed to bond a variety of materials, including steel, aluminum, and certain plastics, making it suitable for modern vehicle construction. It provides a strong, durable bond that helps maintain panel integrity while reducing heat distortion associated with welding.

With a 200 mL dual-cartridge format, the product is intended for use with a compatible applicator gun and mixing nozzle system. This ensures proper mixing of the adhesive components for consistent performance.

It is typically used in applications such as quarter panels, roof skins, door skins, and other non-structural or semi-structural panel replacements where OEM-approved.
