What bonding adhesive should I use? Looking at Axson APF-7 that Sermersheims's sells but it is black. I think the adhesive on C1 is suppose to be gray.

Re: c1 bonding adhesive
ALot of guys use Vette Bond - personally I think it set up too fast (I am slow)
I use Glasin for bonding and repairs
The original bonding material on the early C1's is brown - brownish in color.1954 Corvette #3803 - Top Flight 2012, Bloomington Gold 2012,

Re: c1 bonding adhesive
I have used Fusor products, never again! Being a quality product, but it expands in the sunlight much different than the old fiberglass does, seams/repairs show up more so than old bonding adhesive does.Best to use a product similar to what was used back in the day.- Top

Re: c1 bonding adhesive
Agree, Fusor is an epoxy product. It is fine for bonding, but not good for surface. Always finish the seams and surface with polyester materials.

Re: c1 bonding adhesive
The choped glass gives it some texture like the original. You can get inert coloring lots of places, but a little paint will work.- Top
