Works on
- Steel
3M's structural epoxy for OEM-specified bonding of frame rails, pillars, rockers, strut towers and floor pans. It absorbs energy under peel and cleavage stress, pairs with rivets or spot welds, and turns purple as it cures so you can see it working.
- Work time
- 60 min
- Fixture time
- 8 h
- Full cure
- 24 h
- Heat cure max, 30 min
- 175°F
Built for crash energy
- Collision absorption. Formulated for OEM-specified structural bonding in steel and advanced aluminum alloys.
- Visible cure. It dispenses silver and turns purple as it cures.
- Heat curable. 95% strength in 15 minutes and 100% in 30 at 175°F (80°C).
- Corrosion protection. Backed by 3M's lifetime warranty.
Application
- Grind the bond area to clean, bare metal. Galvanized coatings come off to bright steel.
- Load the cartridge in a 3M 08117 or 09930 applicator with an 08193 or 08194 mixing nozzle.
- Apply and set rivets or spot welds within about 2 hours.
- Riveted or spot-welded parts can be unclamped right away; bond-only parts after 8 hours at 73°F.
- Wait 24 hours at 73°F before returning the vehicle to service, or heat-cure at up to 175°F for 30 minutes within 2 hours of application.

FAQ
Why does it turn purple?
The color change shows the cure has started. Excess heat turns it silver or gray.
Can I MIG weld near it?
Squeeze-type resistance spot welding through uncured adhesive is OK. Keep MIG welding at least 2 inches away and never weld through it.
Can I use it without rivets or welds?
Only where the vehicle manufacturer specifies a bond-only repair. 3M designs it to work with rivets, spot welds or fasteners.
How do I speed it up?
Heat-cure at up to 175°F (80°C) for 30 minutes, started within 2 hours of application.
