automotive adheisive

[lambert]

as part of the process of offroad preparation of bigbluemaveric i'm looking to put deeper arch spats on from a newer model and i'm also redesigning the inner arch crud catchers after all if mud falls off it tends to not rot the steel to the same extent.

so as screws on the outer body are plain ugly, what is there in the way of adheisives out on the marketplace that would be able to hold plastic to painted metal that would be able to stand the inevitable abuse?

Sikaflex is used to stick boats together and is very very good .
You will need to clamp or tape it while it drys though it does have good initial tack and it comes in a range of colours.


wurth also do a very good one bond and seal ,we use it as sealer on military stuff at work ,It will even stick wood to nylon and flex like a hinge :shock: (don't ask how I know :oops:)

the wurth stuff sounds ideal and not just for this job

Tell me about it ..

I keep the half full tubes from work to fix leaks in the disco it's not cheap but you only have to do the job once.

just don't put the spreader down on anything :oops: :oops:

I can vouch for sikaflex (I am a Boat builder). Excellent stuff!
Works even better if  you use the sika primer aswell.
 
 I`ve used it on everything, Side skirts and a like.

Sikaflex, or tigerseal (cheapy option but lethal)
