I saw on An MG is Born Mr Evens using a two part epoxy to glue bits onto the
vehicle. Now I understand that it is not for structural type repairs but I
could use it to add backing pieces to some of the rips and holes on my Srs11
tub prior to filling and repainting.

Does anybody know the name of the stuff and where I could get hold of some?

Thanks all.

Don't know about this, but my 2.5 ton yacht is glued together and coated
with West or SP Systems epoxy resin from any good boat chandlers near
you. SP systems seems less visible nowadays.
It is now 20 years since we built it. Didn't fall apart in the strong
breeze on Sunday. For a boat, you mix the basic epoxy and then add
fillers (colloidal silica to stiffen it and milled wood fibres to give
it body). It's fine as long as it is covered by paint as light degrades
it.

I've glued bits of car together with it sometimes with fibreglass cloth,
but don't really know enough to recommend it for that.

erm, Araldite, any shed. Mind you there are more types and
formulations of epoxy than you can shake a stick at...

I quite like JB Weld "Epoxy Steel" meself. JB Kwik is the fast version. The
slow on has some fairly impressive stats for tensile strength etc. Though
not as strong as steel, mind. Used it before now to patch small holes in
petrol tanks - just smeared over the outside and it seemed to last
long-term.

JB Weld highly recommended. Used it to build up a corroded prop on a boat
until a new one could be found. You can grind and drill it like metal once
it's cured.

Although it takes longer than you might think to get really hard, even the
fast one. Sets in about 10 minutes, but is not to full strength for at
least 6 hours, and 12-24 is better, and that's the quick one. 24 hours
minimum for the slow one.

There's so many varieties, but some military aircraft have the _wings_
glued on. They do have some rivets at each end of the seam to stop the
joint peeling apart, like pulling off a sticking plaster.

Surface preparation matters a lot, as with any glue or paint.

Yeah well it is epoxy resin and fibreglass matting that is holding my
footwells together and doing a good enough job for me not to worry about it.

This Penloc glue is good stuff. I use it on lifts.....not the importent
bits but the bits of steel protecting a marble lift enterence. So far it's
put up with roughly 4 years worth of puchchairs, trlooys banging into it.
It's so strong that if you hit the steel angle hard enough, the marble
breaks before the glue!!.
