The most readily available is Evercoat's Maxim Multi-Panel Panel Bonding Adhesive (Evercoat part number 100815). The 250mL cartridge is a one-to-one epoxy with excellent adhesion to SMC, cold rolled steel, aluminum and e-coats. This material is available through Bad Dad and your local automotive material outlets.
