id have to watch someone do it to see it work, dont see how they fix the gaps between the new panel and old panel that would other wise be welded.. unless they use a magnet type thing to hold the new peice in place and then bond the 2 peices to gether.

its mainly for use on pinch weld semas and hidden seams, not for 80% 1/4 panels etc as the cut line will ghost line over time.also when installing panels you use self tapers or clekos to hold panel, then spot weld holes or fill with same adehsive.
i use it alot on newer stuff, i also use it on the drip rail area when doing 1st gen roofs, works so well and is stronger then plug welds, i also use it for rear window filler paanels etc, as well as the tailpanel to 1/4 seam. it has its use's but its not an endall.

Yes, I have smaller sections of the rocker and lower cowl panels. I do plan on using it on a section of the floor as well. From what I'm reading, the stuff has a higher shear strengh than welds and even the metal it self in some cases. It also has anti-corrosion properties that should also make it superior to welding. My local Color Match has it for $41.
