I am especially interested in
delving into the new adhesives.
Bob,
The manufacturer that the dealership body shop purchased most often was 
called SEM. They have several different epoxies; plastic to metal, metal to glass, 
glass to plastic, along with "like to like" adhesives. It usually comes in a 
strange shaped dual chambered caulking tube (requires a special gun) and the 
mixing tube (@ 8 inches long) attaches to the end and the final product is mixed 
by the time it exits the tube.
The stuff has a massively short shelf life, especially after it is opened, 
and the working time is very short too (at least on the stuff the body shop 
would buy)...
When I worked for DHL in the aircraft parts department we also kept the "SEM 
Kits" on hand, and they were either "aluminum to aluminum" or "plastic to 
aluminum"... used a lot on those 727s and DC8s.... held those patch panels nicely 
at 30,000 ft...
Good luck!
Lonzo
