Adhesives & Seal compounds

[samprinci]

Hi guys, some more info... this insert was found in NASCO Accelerator Mag April 1961. Its a guide for using the correct sealer & adhesives. Obviously these exact products don't exist any more???, but Im sure similar products can be found ???

any ways - hope someone finds it useful ??

7425229 Neoprene cement for sealing door weather seals - I've found Loctite 454 to be pretty damn good. It's an industrial version of superglue, but in a gel form. Doesn't set for 5-10 seconds after being applied from the tube (no more inadvertantly sticking stuff together... especially my fingers ). Because there are not so many fumes (compared to regular superglue) it will stick together clear plastic without fogging it (good for lenses and weathershields). Generally can't find it at Bunnings/SuperCheap, but the industrial suppliers stock it. Cost is pretty similar (if not cheaper) to normal superglue - about $25 for a tube the size of a small toothpast tube.

Cheers,

Do you think that would be enough to do all the rubbers around a sedan

PS I read that wrong I thought the loctite was for the rubbers

Billy,

Yep, Loctite 454 will do all the rubbers.

It was reccomended over on the FE/fC forum for exactly that purpose. I put my rubbers in with it, and am happy with how they have stuck. Just a dab every 4-6" or so.

Cheers,
Harv.
