Suggestions: What's the best thing to use to bond two pieces of fiberglass?

I have a fiberglass hood that I recently pulled apart because it was falling apart and I have fixed it all up and its ready to paint. I just need to know what's the best thing to use to bond them back together so that they wont' come apart. I noticed stock hoods are also bonded together, what is used? Thanks

Be more specific on what you pulled apart. The way it sounds, use fiberglass resin.

I pulled the top half apart from the bottom half. I have some fiberglass resin but its bondo. I was thinking of using some of that Heavy Duty Household weld. I'm needing the type of stuff thats in the trunk of our cars that is holding together the metal panels.

That is a kind of epoxy weld. It seems like it is hard to find because it is only sold in bulk to body shops (maybe not only to body shops but that is the only places that i could find that had it). I was looking for that stuff for awhile when i replaced my rear quarter. You may have to try to buy some off of a body shop. By the way, it is not cheap.
