I'm about to wade into a butt sag repair on my CMC wide body. As part of the planning phase, I searched for and read forum posts about the process. Some of the posts mention adhesives, Liquid Nails (seriously?) and Loctite, who makes a vast array of products. Does anyone have specific product recommendations? I'm assuming I need something with strong shear resistance.

4 - 5/16 bolts with fender washers on each side against the FG panel. I been using Liquid Nails Tub Surround Adhesive for all the speedster but sags it's water proof. There are other products out there too that will suffice
Just don't get anyonya. You practically have to "blast" to get it off.
Wear gloves!
I also ran metal bracing using angle iron to raise the post behind door and strap steel to rear. I'm sure the sag is just from the rivets elongating the holes in the fiberglass but there is only that 1.5" square pipe going to support entire rear. Seems triangulating it would help.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm planning on adding the diagonal braces, I've already got the material.
I got a pair of XS Spanx and while it was a tight fit it solved my Geriatric Butt Sag. $19.95 from Amazin online.
