I want to connect my two piece hood without using the original strip. I understand that that welding the seam can be very tricky.

What about using the 3M body panel connection adhesive? I have heard and seen pictures of it being used in place of welding. One example I saw was to use the adhesive for replacement floor boards.

I do not know the type or name of the particular 3M adhesive/glue.

Any ideas on whether or not to use it and, if so, what product to use?

Thanks in advance.
