DFC1943Fl.Lt. Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Hello all, can someone enlighten me as to what adhesive would be best to use for fixing the rubber seals around the escape & viewing hatches please. I have been sifting through a box that came with my ferret and found quite a few of these 'D' shaped rubber strips still in their packaging which is the same dimension as the lip on the body of the vehicle where the hatches are. I wouldn't normally worry but have noticed that there is water coming in at these points when it rains hard. I have cleaned all the old paint and rust off of these surface's ready, but just need guidance at to what adhesive to use so they stay on the surface. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Many thanks Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 The best rubber to metal or glass adhesive I ever used was "black Bostik". Probably not allowed to be called that anymore, seems to have morphed into Bostik C. Much better than Evostik etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topdog Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I have use sikaflex or the evostick equivalent (not normal evostick) with good results. Got mine from a motor factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordonb Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 If you can find it I recommend "Scotch-Weld 847: Nitrile high performance rubber and gasket adhesive". Similar sort of stuff to Evostick. We used it regularly when I was in the commercial laundry servicing business. Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
