Dual Tube Applicator

I recently bought body panel adhesive "PF7770".  This product is a 2 part apoxy glue for attaching new body panels to your car.  It is applied using a special applicator gun.  My local 10rdc0 auto parts store wanted $240 for such an applicator.  I couldn't justify the cost for something I might only need once.  On-line searching found the cheapest tool for $54.

So I set to work making my own "Dual Tube Applicator" gun.
new calking gun $12.50
modified "dual tube" Gun
 Using some parts from my scrap metal bin I made a very good functional applicator gun for dual tube adhesive.
Small piece of Metal plate, 2x 8" 5/16 threaded rod, 2x fender washers; a few minutes with the hacksaw and welder, a rattle can paint job... done.













Time, gentlemen, please.
