Here's how we attached the panels. Not saying this is the perfect way to do it, just our way.
I use an abrasive disc to clean up the surface of the steel. Cleaned it and the panel with isopropyl alcohol and then let that dry a few minutes. Put a bead of the 560 adhesive and place the panel I place. We would lightly clamp it in place using a board in most places so not to mark the panel. If the spot is going to be covered we did clamp directly to the panel but very lightly. In most cases, we then let it sit an hour before removing the clamps to do the next panel. This time after the adhesive on, a strip of the UHB tape is placed where the panels overlap. Don't remove the red tape until the panel is in place and at least partly clamped. Then careful reach up under the panel and remove the tape. We used a roller to press everything down starting on one corner and moved upward. Hope that's somewhat clear!
