What do I use?

Post by warrior » Wed Sep 03, 2014 6:01 pm

I am trying to stick my mazda emblem back onto my nose cone, I have tried normal double sided tape but it is just not good enough.

When I got the emblem it had a grey rubbery substance to stick it on with and that worked great....any ideas what I can use and where I can get it from?

If you want it to come off, 3M's clear mounting tape is pretty strong too. (quite thick with red backing paper)

That 3M tape is the stuff to use but its expesive as you have to buy a roll.
Just rock up to your local panelbeater and ask for 100mm of it or whatever you need.
Probably charge you $1 if anything at all.

Silicone adhesive from building supplies or silicone gasket maker from auto parts is what I commonly use for jobs like this..[mainly cos I always have them lying around]!

3 things that fix every car problem,

Cable Ties
Duct Tape
Gasket Goo

In this case gasket goo would work :P
