I would like to mold in some gauges into my gauge cluster surround much like this and I was wondering how I would get the glass to stick to the plastic. Ive done enclosures from glass, but Ive never had to bond it to anything. Thanks for the help!

why dont you just drill some holes behind it in the O E cluster and then put it in place. Bolt it to it, install gauges voila done. Or get some 3m double sided tape that just stuff is awesome.

4040 is the adhesive for plastics.

4058 is the filler paste (same as bondo for plastic, though)

Mrkustom, I don't know what the 4070 is, sorry. And it's not in 3M's product catalog. What is that application?
