Maybe they use a different paste for the Elise.

Yup. The bonding agent for the chassis is not listed anywhere in the service manual and such.
Just look in your engine bay and take a careful look at the aluminium extrusions of the chassis beams you can see sticking out from the passenger compartiment (the subframe bolts onto that). You'll see a thermometer somewhere and it will still read the temperature the chassis reached when it was baked.
You do find in the service manual the different BetaSeal types used to bond on the different fibregrass parts, windscreen, etc.. Aka everything that's added onto the base chassis later on and is supposed to be removable/replacable in the life of the car.
