Howdy - To Stuwey or any other motor trimmers out there - what is the best adhesive to stick the under-bonnet insulation on with?
It has been suggested to me to use a spray on glue. Would this be sufficient? Would the side that sticks to the bonnet, ie the furry side, get enough adhesion with the spray glue? I'm thinking that because it is furry it might need a pretty thick smear of adhesive (ie tinned stuff and spread with a spatula) to "absorb" into the material and thus give a better "deeper" bond?
What would you guys use? Any tips?
Thanks in anticipation.
Peter :)

Contact adhesive will be sufficient.

Selley's do a good brand :wink:

Give a decent coverage on each side (moreso on the material - absorbtion) and wait for the glue to go slightly tacky then bring up each surface and hold for a minute while the glue fuses.

Spray or smear on willy?

In industry, we spray.
You can buy contact adhesive in pressure packs if you don't have access to a gun.
Please don't buy any cheap products - they just DON'T last.

Brushing on is an alternative.

It can be thinned down with turps to make it a nicer viscosity to work with, it get's pretty expensive buying it in a spraycan, and oversprayed contact adhesive is a bitch on paintwork. Easily removed with a rag dipped in turps though.

Yup, agree with Will. The cheap ones are craaaaaaap.

The adhesive we use comes in a 20Lt. tin. We get it from Daley's Motor Trimming Supplies and it seems to be the best one. We tried the one from Nolans, but with no joy.

As Will said, spray it on both surfaces, let it go 'tacky' and then put 'em together.

If you need some glue, i'm sure we can sort you out with a smidge.

Cheers

Thanks for the offer Stuwey - long way to come with it though if you are delivering. :roll:
If you think that something like Selleys spray on is a good thing then it might just be easier for me to go buy a can..
After all, it's just the 4 piece set under the bonnet that I'm doing, so 1 can should be enough eh?
I guess tho that once it goes tacky and you place the material onto the bonnet, there's not much chance to slide it about to line it up - first contact has to be the right contact?
Mick - with my skills, I'm less likely to get in a blithering mess with a spray can, I think :oops:
Thanks guys.
Peter. :)

Oh I'm totally handycapped with a spraycan. I'd spray it in my eyes if I did it without safety glasses. :oops:

The spray on stuff that Willshire's uses is called "AnchorWeld". Does quite a good job.

The other stuff that Daley's supplies is made by 3M. Its the only other adhesive I would ever use. Every other spray on adhesive ive tried is very non-adhesive in comparison to 3M and AnchorWeld.

take off the bonnet and rest it on some foam or an old matress. use the 3m super 74 spray adheasive. its all you need. anchor weld is great if you have a spray gun, you need to use the red one. red ones for spraying because its thinned down. the yellow one is for brushing.
go the 3m product, i use it all the time

Willshire's sprays the yellow stuff on. The colouring in the red glue can soak thru velour and leather and stain them badly. Been there, done that.
