A good resource is your local auto paint store. I was steered towards a
product with the brand name of Fusor (or Fuzor) which comes in caulking gun
cartridges as well as other formats. I was told that it is what the auto
manufacturers use. It is a single component polyurethane product that is
paintable and
quite strong. Back before I thought better of it and was considering
replacing my floorpans myself I considered installing them using steel
poprivets and
this adhesive. I suspect that between the two it would have been as strong as
original, maybe more.
