    The panel bond is good stuff, it's actually stronger than spot welds. Same basic concept of treaded tires versus slicks, you get nice uniform adhesion instead of little spots. Not that I'm saying new cars arent complete turds, but they are pretty much made out of the stuff, door skins, roof skins, quarter panels, bed sides, etc. are held on by epoxy now instead of welds lately.

    Interesting tech. I'm a guy who likes welds, but I might have to look into this. I also like using a cut-off wheel to get rid of that cup on the back of the sombrero--I usually drill out the spot welds, which takes forever.
