Hi;

Back in 1983, I used a 3M structural adhesive called 2216-BA (gray) 
which is an epoxy (mix parts A & B), apply and clamp for 24 hrs.  Not 
one spot (which were mostly on the door skins) has let loose.  Good 
stuff.  I don't know where to get it other than calling 3M directly.  I 
have an uncle who (still) works for 3M and he told their glue 
specialists what I needed.  They came up with this and gave me a 
sample.  They also gave me another sample which I didn't ever use called 
3459, also an epoxy.  Well, 19 years is pretty permanent.  It's still 
holding too.

Amo,
#1207 - green (painted ruby red)
                    plus gray structural adhesive, but not visible.
