3M 08115 Panel Bonding Adhesive 200 mL Duo Pack Epoxy Cartridge, 24 hr Curing
- The 3M 08115 is a two-part epoxy panel bonding adhesive designed for non-structural outer body panels such as door skins, roof skins, quarter panels, box sides and similar; it bonds steel, aluminum, SMC, and FRP with high performance.
- Features:
- Contains glass beads for bond line thickness control, helping avoid excessive squeeze-out and ensuring consistent adhesive layer
- Extended work time (approximately 90 minutes) allows placement, alignment, and clamping before cure begins
- Can be heat-accelerated for faster strength development when needed
- Corrosion-inhibiting formula helps protect joints from environmental damage

- The 3M 08115 Panel Bonding Adhesive may also be referred to as 3M panel bond epoxy 08115, automotive panel bonding adhesive, two-part epoxy cartridge, non-structural body panel adhesive, and 3M outer skin adhesive 08115.
3M 08115 Panel Bonding Adhesive is a premium epoxy adhesive developed for body shops. It delivers excellent adhesion and corrosion resistance for outer body panels while allowing flexible working time and heat-curing on demand to match shop throughput and restore vehicle structural integrity where permitted.
Q: Can 08115 be used on structural parts like pillars or frame members?
A: No. It is intended for non-structural outer panels. Structural components should be repaired or replaced following manufacturer’s structural adhesives or welding procedures.
Q: What surface preparation is needed for best performance?
A: Surfaces must be cleaned to bare metal, all rust, paint, and primer removed; abrasive tools (e.g. P80 or similar) used; solvent wiped. Proper fit and clamping are crucial before application.
Q: How long after application can parts be handled or returned to normal use?
A: After approximately 4 hours clamp time at 23°C, parts can be handled carefully. Full strength is achieved after about 24 hours under ambient conditions; cure can be accelerated with heat if needed.
