I think that stuff expands as it sets -- would probably hold but I
wonder if the results would lay flat. Probably overkill as there seems
to be mechnical fasteners there to do the real work of holding (e.g. the

Maybe. Paint from time of manufacture and/or rust since may make this
difficult to break loose. Mine came out easily, others not so easy.
