Question:

what kind of adhesive can i use to bond plastic sheet to metal?

i have a water leak inside my car and its coming from inside the door panel, the plastic inside the door came apart from the metal so the water finds its way inside my car, im wondering what kind of adhesive i can use for this application. i know originally they use a butyl caulk/adhesive tape but idk where to find that stuff, anybody have any ideas?

Answer:

Any of the good epoxies will work. Just make sure the epoxy is rated for outdoor use and the part to be glued is dry and clean before applying. If you can, after gluing and to make sure the parts stay in contact, you might use some duct tape to hold things together. If the repair isn't visible , you can leave the tape on. If it will be visible, the tape can be removed after the epoxy has cured. (allow proper curing times with longer curing times possible with winter temperatures)
excellent answer from dallenmarket, these items are available at an auto body supply specialty shop or a NAPA, Good Luck.
