John,
One of the 3M VHB double sided tapes will do a good job. A link to the data page is available from: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Manufacturing/Industry/Product-C atalog/Bonding-Solutions/ We used it on the pie cart roof to avoid rivet holes. It sticks like the proverbial to a blanket. Accordingly once the cladding is laid down on the tape it stays put - if it's out of line tough! Gary Hollands used it on a glider trailer ages ago. It's still going strong. If you want to have a talk about how to get the cladding laid down right give me a call on 0400 299 571.

Subject: [Aus-soaring] Steel - Steel Adhesive Anyone on the list have any experience with steel - steel adhesives. We are considering fixing the sheet steel (colourbond) to the steel frame on a sailplane trailer (as many of the modern pantechs are now made). Apparently, this method of fixing the cladding is not only water-proof but also stronger (and looks great Also) than the traditional fixing methods (screws, rivets etc). John Hudson
