Adhesive vs Welding

I have bonded multiple panels in the bodyshop also. The process works great for most situations. Much faster, less mess. It also works much better in the corrosion resistance area, when you spot or plug weld something back together you need to find a good way to cover the bare metal after welding, with bonding you cover it all before and it stays that way. You still need to weld the seams, and any location you need to do filler work. The body filler tends to not want to stick to any exposed glue and will lift. There is some debate as far as structural integrity, the glue tends to be much stronger as you are fully attaching a panel where it was spot welded from the factory. The spot welds are actually engineered in collapse zones, the glue does not collapse or allow the panel to collapse in a collision the same way the spot welds do.
