Adhesive advice / styling

Sun18 · 08-03-2018, 03:33 AM

Hey Guys.

Anyone know of a mental strong adhesive . I want to bond on my number plates , mainly front because problem is this , I don't want screws in it . I've used double sided but keeps peeling as it's rounded on front . Bostik stixall apparently is good ,

tiger seal would stick it no probs,,but id use 3m double sided foam tape,,get it in a roll and go all around the edge and put some across the centre also.also gorilla glue..all sorts of differing bonds with that stuff.

Why not get a number plate holder?
If you don't like the ones with all the writing on them just get a plain one.

Had a similar problem with mine but fixed it by warming it slightly before applying and then using double sided while it was still 'soft'. It hasn't flexed back straight yet!

number plare holders still need fixing on though,,my car has one on the front,,i took it off as i had a small private plate to put on,,had to put it back on as the new shorter p,ate didnt cover the screw holes from the plate holder..had to get new longer plates made..

Hear what ya saying guys . Thanks for your thoughts / reply s. Prob with double sided is its got be spot on first time for alignment plus used that before and it peeled away on edges as it's bent on front. Plus think it looks cleaner lines at front without plate holder ( personal thoughts ) . Will prob look at gorilla glue ? Just need a good waterproof epoxy ?

What about something like 'No more nails'. If you could stick it with that, it definitely wouldn't be coming off!

Silicon will stick anything !

Gorilla glue is the daddy. They also do a Gorilla double sided tape too.

3m UHB or VHB, this is the right stuff for trim etc...

+1

I use this stuff at work and it is freakishly strong, assuming the surfaces were properly cleaned beforehand.

Also believe sikaflex is really strong stuff and is bomb proof when set ?
