Recently, General Motors reviewed an additional source and material for the bonding of certain exterior metal panels when performing collision repairs.

The 3M Corporation has introduced a new epoxy adhesive. 3M P/N 8116 has been recognized as meeting the performance guideline requirements of GM 6449G Specification for Metal Panel Bonding Adhesives.
