It takes 45 minutes for the adhesive to set up. It turns from grey to green when it is cured. I used a heat gun to warm up the panel and that speeded up the process, since I only had three hours for the evening class and there was only an hour left when we started clamping. After several hours it is harder than the steel.

And here is the semi-final result until we do the cosmetic body filler to get rid of any visible seams.





Oh, and in case you thought I did this all in one three hour class...I didn't. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] It took two classes, one to remove the old dropoff and the other to trim and install the new one. So, six hours total.
