If you can't get 3M, take a look at the > Sika website: http://www.sikausa.com/ I can recommend Sikaflex as excellent stuff from personal experience during a boat speed building competition in Mystic CT a few years ago (where essentially only the adhesive was supposed to hold some plywood together for a human and wind powered race the dayafter the building heats). I must add, however, that when we built the prototype the local store did not have Sikaflex and we were forced to use 3M. As a result I could not recommend one over the other in this application, which required both serious adhesion and excellent gap-filling / caulking properties. We cut up the competition boat a long time ago because the finish was not as good as on the prototype. The latter is still around and going strong ...
