The adhesive worked real well, but with the colder temps it took a long time to really cure solid. I think we ended up leaving it like 1.5 days before moving on with the floor. There are purpose made body repair adhesives that would have cured much quicker.
For a vehicle I’m keeping, I’m not sure which I would prefer honestly. It feels like it’s hard to go wrong welding. But the adhesive is fairly quick and easy in comparison, albeit with more cure time where you leave it alone, but if you weld then you have to seam seal over that anyway.
In terms of strength I’m not sure there is really a difference either. The seam sealer has such a large overlap surface area that it gets plenty of strength from that. Sure you could have two weld beads, one top and one bottom at the overlap, but that’s also one point where a weld could rip. In any case, it’s not like that section of floor needs super strength, I mean you won’t see anyone gluing control arm mounts to an axle in the near future.
