Wow, Dave, that's some kitchen! Mine will be a bit more subtle, since I'm using just the brushed stainless. But I'm pretty well set on the fastener-less look. Hey, there's enough rivets left to satisfy me, and anyway, I just added a bunch more. When I installed my Tundra fridge, I removed the old fridge chimney and rooftop vent. A rectangular patch with radiused corners covers the hole, held on by about 33 Olympics.

The Tub and Surround Adhesive is one form of what I was calling paneling adhesive. There are so many flavors of this stuff I never know exactly which one to buy. Does the T&SA have exceptional grip? And does it work on metal and painted surfaces?

JB Weld, huh? I guess I think of that more for smaller jobs. although mixing whole tubes at a time wouldn't be that difficult. My only concern would be its ability to withstand some flexing - it does set very hard. I suspect a dab every 4 inches or so would give plenty of adhesion with adequate flexibility.
