Anyone have any recommendations on this? I am wanting to screw/bond my shinoda chin and s281 spoiler and then fill/mold them to look like one piece. Pivco was out, pep boys recommended me a small(half a tube of toothpaste) tube of plastic emblem adhesive and napa had a +$60 2 part epoxy that used a special gun (from $60-500) to push the epoxy out and mix it. I don't mind getting the cheap gun for the 2 times I plan on using it but if there is a better way I would be open to suggestions. I just need a super solid hold between the parts so that the filler/paint will not crack later. They will be screwed on as well but would really like to have a solid hold, better then double stick tape and plastic emblem adhesive anyway....

Not sure if you would like this idea but you could always use bondo..... I know I know... **** bondo. But the option is there and it's fairly cheap in comparison to what you've found lol

I will be using filler to fill the gap between the two but I am really looking for an adhesive to hold the two together to keep the filler from cracking.

Yea that is the kinda stuff I am talkin bout. The stuff they stuck our headliners in if anyone has ever pulled one out is a good example. Still not sure how they welded the cardboard to the metal but they did trust me. between that and some screws it should be as solid as I want it too be so I will not have to worry about it seperating. Going to use it for a few things from the spoilers to the license plate frame and after looking at pics of back ends I am also going to try to mold the 3rd tail light in with it so it looks like it isn't there and try to shave the key hole and move it behind the plate. Could not find any PBA locally so I ordered some that isn't too far away hoping it can make it here by the weekend.

Good idea but not the right application. Filler won't create a permanent bond like a metal bond would.
