Whats wrong with just WELDING steel, the way it was meant to be joined.
Im sorry, but I would FLIP out completely if I bought a truck bed or trailer and it was GLUED together. Atleast humor a fella like me and put a weld bead around your glue to hide it.

It's permanent. Stitch welding is hard to keep from rusting out. A full weld doesn't let it expand and contract, so the panels bow out. The janitor didn't get hired as OUR janitor for being a dummy, can't help the social issues though...
Don's right, it's permanent. Something new I'm trying. An Experiment. Y'know, like the internet. Prob'ly never catch on!
Horse trailer walls, roofs and some floors have been glued in place for years. And they're a real chore to get apart if you need to replace a panel for some reason. Now this company has developed a heavier duty glue rated for severe service, such as in a dump body, so I'm trying it to see if it's as tough as the lighter application glues. A continuous bead of glue all along the crossmember the floor plate lays on will stop any rust from forming as the glue takes up any gap. It also makes for a flatter looking floor plate as there's no stitch welds to heat up and deform it.
Afternoon
is ready BTW.'Social Issues'...
