Adhesive question

[andysheep]

After following e30 tecs bad call on ht silicon used to reseal fog light glass(it doesnt set, specialy when you buy a dodgy tube on flea bay)i though id better ask the zones advice.iv just got my new seal to go around the hood storage compartment on my convertable and black silicon just doesnt seem right,due to its propertys off eating metal(the vingear smell is a dead give away)so what do i use?no tiger seal or no nails jokes please guys

I used black Sikaflex on mine. Worked a treat. It's really good stuff, can't beat gunk that comes in a metal tube!

It does take a while to go off though, I left mine taped in place overnight, inside.

I used the non contact evostik stuff. It worked fine.

I used high temp silicon on my cross hair hlamps and had no probs with it.
Got to say though sikaflex is good stuff but there are lots of different variations of it for different applications

Non contact?im not finding this type off evostick!

I presume he means the sort that doesn't instantly stick for all time the first time it touches the other surface.

Loctite Rear View Mirror bonder available from Euro Car Parts etc. Do not use superglue, it does not expand in the summer heat and may crack the screen.
