No fasteners are required with that 3m tape? Is that aluminum, fiberglass or...?

Panels are powder coated aluminum. The 3M tape is used for holding high rise windows and used on trailer builds with no fasteners. The corner trim will have rivets or screws once I get them made. I honestly would need an air chisel to pull this stuff off. It’s not going anywhere.

If you ever use it be sure you’re in the spot you want it because it will never come off after it’s bonded lol.

Did u use the 3-m prep too,when I seen the foam,it was like the foam mock-up HLS truck we are working on now,we use this 3m tape.

 

[Moody Bricker]

Real nice job

 

[SuperAwesomeDOOD]

Up to the point you are at is the part that is straightforward to me. The part I’ll battle is the “canvas” pop up top thing. I’m interested to see where you go with that part.

 

[America.Mike]

Real nice job

I used laq. thinner and rubbing alcohol to prep it. I tested it on two pieces of aluminum and couldn’t even pry them apart with two pry bars. Lol
