Claim 12:
13. A method of bonding two parts, which comprises the steps of:
applying the curable precursor according to claim 1 to a surface of at least one of the two parts;
joining the two parts so that the curable precursor or the partially cured precursor structural adhesive composition is positioned between the two parts; and
optionally, partially curing the curable precursor according of step a) by initiating the polymerization initiator of the cationically self-polymerizable monomer, thereby forming a partially cured precursor comprising a polymeric material resulting from the self-polymerization reaction product of the cationically self-polymerizable monomer; and/or
substantially fully curing the partially cured precursor of step a) or c) by initiating the curing initiator of the cationically curable monomer, thereby obtaining a substantially fully cured structural adhesive composition and bonding the two parts.
