I'd bet either 2 or 3

depends on what you are doing... are you laying a piece of plastic on the mdf or are you putting it like perpendicular to the mdf?

2 part epoxy works well on plastic, but I have never used it on mdf.

Is it going to be for looks or performance? If you want it to look good, I would NOT use liquid nails

I am affixing a ring to a door panel.

Mostly for performance as I will be covering it up in microfiber

use 3M 5200 that shit is strong enough to glue a 10000 lb keel to the hull of a boat and it ripped the hull apart when they tried to remove it

will it stick to a door panel?

I think this

3M™ Marine Adhesive Sealant Fast Cure 5200

may be the ticket

I responded to this on DIYMA.

The 3M stuff will probably be as strong as you're going to get. I do know that I used a 2 part epoxy on some PVC ports and there is no way in hell I'm ever going to get them out. I tried my hardest to remove one on a test piece and I almost broke my arm.

Well....here is what I come up with:

I am going to use this to attach rings to my door panel and a-pillar:

Then use this to smooth it out and whatnot:

Grand total is $61.93

Is that more or less than what you pay for similar products?

Or I can use the two-part epoxy, fiberglass, and body filler I already own.
