The adhesive that Lotus uses doesn't really matter for repairs, etc.

The Elise chassis is bonded then BAKED in an oven where the adhesive heat cures. You can't replicate that process unless you disassemble everything from the chassis and load it back into an oven..

"Room Temperature" curing adhesives is what you are after.
