Correct. From what I have heard, it is harder to find it in the tubes now. They also carry it in one of them premixer plunger things that suck to use, so that probably has a different part number.

 

 

There are also other brands I'm sure. If you go into an aubody/paint supplu place and say you need the plastic part repair epoxy they will know what you need and should be able to help you. I've only ever used the 3M stuff. That's what they had at tech school, college and my local paint place. It's worked great so I never really had a reason to try anything else.

Actually, no. That is a general auto adhesive.

 

The Automix line has many different aspects and different adhesives, epoxies.

 

 

You want to find the Automix plastc parts repair stuff.
